Well, I have been thinking of going military.
What do you think of this change? Is Satin black and red over done or
the military theme? On the door is a Seabees moto;

There are a lot of black cars with red wheels, no question there.

I think the Mill green would be good, better if the wheels were green too.

Thanks.
I made (modified) the top frame from a 68' Triumph spitfire..(free).width was right and lengthened top the side rails 4". Lays down in the bed. The material is an, Army, shelter -half(tent)..(OD green) (water proof 'treated' heavy cotton ($7.50 Army/Navy store).
I used to cover my RPU with it and one day I thought; 'damn, that thing holds puddled water good! (for days)...light -weight top ! And the heavy duty snaps were already there. I will sew/modify, to fit!!
