That was the response, I was hoping for because everyone was saying that they didn't believe I would paint it white and not flip-flop again to Grabber Blue. I thought I would roll with the GB story, haha. :D

Thank you, that would be great if you wouldn't mind. I am trying to get everything as correct as I can, just so it looks right at car shows.

I think I am the only guy I know who would want to make sure the accents are correct on the car that is completely wrong by design, haha.

I changed the color, changed the interior color, installed a built M code engine in an H code car, added a tach, console, roll down quarter windows, front and rear spoilers, basically up-optioned the crap out of it. I wanted it to be what I would have ordered back in '71 if I wasn't six years old at the time. I am trying to restore it to look correct, as best I can. I do not to wish to misrepresent the car, but just to make it look right.

I ordered a new ID decal from Marti for the drivers door with all of the correct original information on it. I will get a personal chuckle out of applying the decal that will clearly document that it is a green H code car with a green interior originally, on the new Wimbledon White paint of a car with a built M code with a black interior and all kinds of other "wrong" stuff. I figure that way if it ever gets sold, the prospective new owner will be able to see it is a color changed, non-original car, because I won't be there to tell them, and there is not a spec of original paint on the vehicle. Also, I'll be six feet under and sadly my wife won't know it makes a difference, haha.:)
Not sure if this is what you are looking for
