I'm making a new sign for World of Wheels. Thought I'd share. Any opinions?

Simple and balanced = Very nice

Nicely done. I am curious though - I thought Moss Green was a '67 color? My '66 is code R, Ivy Green, which is what I always thought your car was. Anyway, I am sure you know and if the tag has the Moss Green code then that is what it is, but seems peculiar for a '66.

Well done. I particularly like the shot of the badge and wheel.

I believe it was possible to order color Y on late 66 cars. There was a very late 66 K at the 35th that was Moss Green with the matching door tag. I too thought Troy's car was Ivy Green...

The data plate says Y7, but who knows what color the car is actually painted....When I got some touch up for the underhood area I had to mix the current PPG Ivy Green and Moss Green together to get the right shade, as it is probably somewhere in between since the repaint... My car is a late '66, which also had the original late 66 style washer bag still in place.

I like the new angle for the shot of the Kar.

If the color in the pics is true to the car, then it looks like Ivy Green to me.

Due to differences in monitor calibrations, color temperature during the shooting, and other factors, there is no way to tell a proper shade of a car from a typical photograph. Of course, our eye perceives changes in color temperature when looking at a real car in the sun, haze, clouds, etc..

I think you would have to put two original paint cars side by side in the same lighting at the same time to tell the difference, no?? I think the Moss Green is lighter and more metallic than Ivy Green from the paint mix I got from the current PPG paint codes. Like I said before, my car appears to fall somewhere in between, but leans toward the darker side. In full sun, that's a different story. I try not to shoot in full sun, so that's why my pics all look dark and deeper in color.

Check these out:

'67 DMG, looks just like mine in the sun.

Anybody confused as I am yet!?!?

CharlesTurner · December 15, 2008 at 11:13 AM

The GT500 looks like the best representation of Dark Moss Green. The '67 fastback looks too dark, but could be a lighting issue.

Here's a pic of my kar at the 35th with the moss green (Y7) 66 next to it. The moss green is definitely lighter... And yes, both are k's. This was at the k korral. Charles should remember this...

Here is a pic of the Y7 kar by itself.

Do you have any more pics of the 2 cars together you can send me? I am having a hard time seeing the difference on these examples...

66gtk · December 15, 2008 at 9:38 PM

What interior did this Y7 have - I'll bet Ivy green/white??? Seems that was a popular combination...Both cars look great next to each other. I wish I had been there, as we would have represented!!

I think that is the only one I have but will have to look through my 35th pics to see if I have more. I know I at least have the originals of these scaled down pics I can send.

I honestly don't remember but I think it was black standard.

CharlesTurner · December 16, 2008 at 7:28 AM

I don't recall any specifics on those cars, but I can see a color difference between them. I guess when you've seen so many that you know what to look for. <img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Are you shooting with a polarizer? On first glace check the red reflection on the door panel. Might be worth removing.

World of Wheels was last week, and "Ivy" took an "Outstanding in Class" award. I was thrilled, and surprised. My "driver" took home some really nice hardware in the past 6 months at the shows, and I've been very surprised and pleased. It's fun going in with little or no expectations. I can't imagine how stressful it is for those of you who have real nice show cars that really like to compete. I saw a lot of frustrated owners over the weekend that didn't get the awards they were after...
