Tell me what you think

I have this picture of a 67 and I love this color combo.... is it just me or is it nice?
I would have a painted top though

I think it looks nice but needs the shiny wheels. If they were black like the lower body I think it would be too much dark colors. My 2 cents

Black & tan and navy & tan are great combos. IMO

I'm thinking on paint vs. vinyl too. Maybe a satin or semi gloss to get the color combo look of the vinyl.

I might be changing my mind on color............. I am finding everyone is going deep purple or candy these days.........

I really like the tan roof over black... or ............ you will hate me for this but my 05 mustang in mineral grey.....that is a sexy color

the car will have vintage cragers for sure

Looks like diarrhea on the roof to me.
I vote no.

Tara's 442 from Son's of Anarchy looks better in all black.

Mine actually works with the chrome and gold wheels. I only did mine like that because I didn't want to rip the vinyl off when I Got it painted. This is not it's final incarnation by a long shot. I just wanted to get it out of primer.

I am planning to do something similar with mine, only it will be Saffron yellow with a black painted roof.

I think it's just you.

Looks fine, you do need gold accents or it's sort of blah.
The tenth anniversary Datsun 280 SX and other black with gold cars had gold accented wheels, trim or stripes.
