This is the biggest reason that I decided not to go with Q5 on the convertible. Every camera makes it look like a different color. One thing is for sure, black is black no matter what camera you use.

Hoosier, what are you talking about "with that GTX chrome"?

I'll bet he means the wheel lip moldings and the rocker panel chrome between them. This was not available from the factory on a '69 road runner.

Well, I thought that was GTX chrome, but now I see that it isn't. Is it aftermarket, I don't think it was available for RRs from the factory. Or was it? :huh:

As I understand it, the Roadrunner wasn't available with the wheel lip and the rocker panel chrome. The GTX didn't have the rocker panel chrome either and the wheel lip chrome stopped at the chrome strip that ran along the lower body line.

The chrome on that car is really for a Satellite. That doesn't mean there wasn't Roadrunners sold with the chrome as I'm sure that dealers stuck it on to brighten up an otherwise dull car, but I've never seen or heard of a documented RR with wheel lip chrome.

If I ever get mine totally done I will put the wheel well and rocker trim on. I think it looks great, and I'm still leaning toward the Q5.........I think it's B5 with some F8. I'll be a half breed........ :lol:

I could make a strong case that the new smilie :acme: should have been named "Sponge Bob"...

...and lest you think that you are being singled out I could do the same for renaming :pot: "Hoosier"...

Lets see if I can get this to be a little more clear. Ray wants the dude with the stick poaking the other named after me. Ray must think I needle people :huh: Ray also wants the pot stirring smilie changed to Hoosier which I completely understand :lol: Ray would probably like the beer toasting smilies named after him since he is never ever the cause of any kind of trouble. How am I doing :jester:
