Are you going to put the scallops back on it??
Hope I can get that much shine back on mine in the next week!

Hey Scotty, thanks for the compliment's. Not sure on the scallop's, my wife (into sleds and customs) says yes, the guy who painted it says i should'nt and my mates are half no (the purists) and the other half say go for it (the hot-rodders).
Perhaps forum users can put a vote on yes or no for scallops?

With a business name like that one, I expected a more radical and lairey design , not smooth pastel colours and super shine like that one.

What a classic, the whole time the car was there I was trying to convince Joe to Candy apple Red the roof - or a flame job etc. At end of the day, it all comes down to what the customer wants. I reckon a white roof with some ice white pearl would of looked the goods as well?? As for the scallops, Joe I reckon Harko is on the mark, drive the car, see how you feel.

Welcome to the forum steve, that green is here to stay, no custom colours for this old girl, except maybe the scallops!
Cheers.

You can guess my view on scallops , Joe.
That was the first thing I saw when you drove it into the park's driveway on the Saturday morning in Bendigo..

.
It made that car a stand out (in my ever searching custom eye

). That, and the 'stance'.
Whatever you do will be fine with me though..as it's a great looking EK to start off with.
More power to you...
Scotty.

Save the scallops for when you get bored, although a green flake roof and a matching scallops over the pastel green would look awesome!!!

If you knew how close I came to a green pearl/gold flake laced roof in my recent paint job, DR!!
