    The question is whether you are trying to repo a stock color or simply decide on what you like best.
    I too like the green with white accents.
    If there isn't a need to go stock. GM had a beautiful blue that was popular a number of years ago. I can't remember what the name of it was.
    A black roof will offset your Sport trim nicely.
    Have you thought about a soft top and door inserts?
    Cute Aussie by the way......

    You guys are so funny! :lol:

    JD(jeepdaddy), I might be considering the soft top, but darn, I have this hardtop and though it's in poor condition, I still may attempt bringing it back to life, undecided, but the soft top is an option. I'd like to install AC, so the hardtop fully insulated would be a must, but darn it all, the Bronco's look really good without a hard top;) Thank you for the compliment on our Aussie, she's mini, 30lbs but stupid amount of energy and don't dare say "ball"! lol

    I just put a bunch of random colors, no decision is made right now as there is much work to do, but still fun and needs to be thought about;) Another thing, I don't have the fiberglass fender extensions, mine is "uncut", but with poor eyesight, looks like this first one. I won't be using the side "chrome" moulding. So don't go get all excited about colors too much;) Aren't they pretty!

    Personally I like the Bronco's with the hardtop. The one in the picture in front of the brick building looks perfect!

    Ah, I remember the days going home from high school, especially after marching practice, in my '66 Plymouth Valiant, the wing windows and a little door under the dash allowed for air at whatever speed I was going~ saved the day! Almost like AC;)

    In my '71 Dart, that little door under the dash had enough room to stow a fifth of.......

    Well, something.

    we all know jeeps look the best in orange, and Broncos do too.

    my vote is orange.

    Looks can be deceiving when putting parts on, I thought I was making great progress, right now just body alignment issues kind of, get something squared away, then throws something else off ~

    Orange is high on the list;)

    Googled imgages~ sigh

    Going back in time a little, you guys probably remember the other jeeps that I had 'restored'

    My brothers jeep which started the whole thing off regarding jeeps
    [​IMG]

    Then my '68 which is in our garage~ I'd say it's one of my best paint jobs; everything went right on the build, but jeeps are not terribly complicated.
    [​IMG]

    Not mine, a googled image, but I like the black windshield frame, the grill if it had been an original, but it does look good, and I do like that black bumper and I'm kind of drawn to that color, but having a hard time imagining a hard top on it. The canvassy type are looking like an option~ it's all talk you know, just blabbing :blah: :rofl:
