This is probably the closest color that we could find. Mine will be a little different. But imagine the hood and deck lid black like I explained earlier. But, the roof will be copperhead. I guess the best way to describe what will be black is the think of any surface that is horizontal will be black and anything vertical will be copperhead.

So what do you think? Be honest.

I am not offended by your comment. It is not my place to judge anyone for their oppinion. I knew that some would not particularly care for the color I picked, and that is OK. Hell, the car used to be Hugger orange with a black vinyl top and people used to look at me funny. Grumpy and I looked at many colors and the colors he liked, I didn't, and vice versa. The reds are rediculously expensive, and their are so many of them, same with black. I was looking for a unique color and I had picked a few copper colors and then the copperhead was shown to me and I knew that I had found what I was looking for. I was looking to put the heavy chevy stripe on the side and then the idea of painting the hood and deck lid were shown to me, and I liked them better than the stripe.

I wouldn't risk it because I couldn't afford it if it didn't work out. Still I think it might turn out good. Follow the natural body lines, that includes up around the rear window with the black and you may have something there. For sure it will be different and draw some attention. Some people will like it, some people won't, can't please everybody.

When we decided to do this, it was from Grumpy pushing me to do something for myself. It was a difficult decision, that I am so glad that I made, and he has been supportive of any color I choose, well almost any, even though he has not been the biggest fan. I want to find a drawing of a Chevelle and do a color drawing to have a picture to give me an idea of what it might look like.

Well...............it is her's to do as she pleases.
I think the pic's that Jake put up look good but it wouldn't work for me.
If Ms. Grumpy is happy, I'm happy.
I have a project 68 Mustang to fix up for the wife. She wants Panther Pink on it when I get ready to paint. I sure hope she changes her mind!!!!!
My 67SS was originally white with a blue hardtop two tone with a blue interior.
I just never ever liked it.
If I still had the original numbers matching engine, I would have thought more seriously of painting the car original, though.
Painted it Torch Red with black interior.
Best of luck on your decision, ma'am. I know it will be nice either way.
