Help choosing a colour

hey crew - I've got 2 weeks (thats the time it's going to take to block back the 2 x 4 coats of primer) to choose the colour!! I am pretty much decided on a slightly deeper version to Troy Trep's Biscayne - but need to know where to start - any tips. Or other suggestions? Looked for all images I can find on the web for other dodge darts to get an idea of what looks good? But not to many images out there?THanks!!!!!!

Oy! Like to help you pick a color but how bout an easier question like "how to understand women?" Myself I like Sublime or Sassy Grass Green for my 74 RR. Yeah I know I'll stand out like dogs ***** but I'm older now and can afford better lawyers! BTW, are Ford and Holden still making utes down there? Was in aus a few times and drooled about bringing one home. I live in the country and that would put me in redneck heaven!

yeah still churning out the utes!! Holden brought out a new VE series! A billion dollars spent on development of the VE series (hence they called it the billion dollar baby) and plus the Holdon "maloo Ute" would bring a tear to ya eye!! Ford still hanging in there with their FPV series which thunder past you on the road. There is a V8 Ute race series also, similar to the V8 Supercar world series, but a heap more fun for the spectators!!! You'd have more luck nailing jello to a tree than understanding a women!!!!

Holy hell, what a ride. Thats a full-on muscle car. Was this a special editin or aftermarket car? The price is a bit steep. Wish more people on this side of the pond knew about these utes. When I was in Oz afew years back, I mentioned to the blokes that I had a Dodge 4x4 Pick-up, they said the american trucks made no sense. Too tall, cant carry enought hay, when you have a dead sheep its too high to throw it in. They preferred an Isuzu with a "tray" in the back. Yes, I've seen the "bugger" commercials. Whats with the Kw ratings on the engines. I'm a sparky for a living and I know that 1 horsepower = 746 watts. Is this what you do?
