What color is your interior? That could have a big effect on what exterior color to use. Of course could always change interior color if it's not "compatible" with your color choices.

Actually your tan could go with the Sassy Grass. You might also consider a white interior, which would look dynomite with any of your color choices (harder to keep clean but coolor unless you have AC).

Anything is cooler (temperature wise) then a black interior. Man I wished I had changed interior colors when I redid it. That and used fabric instead of vinyl seats because without seatcovers when its 100deg outside black vinyl gets quite toasty.

If your going to redo the inside then deffinately decide on the in/outside colors as a pair or else you may be unpleasantly surprised when you put the two together. Unless your picky remember the inside of the trunk and engine bay is painted body color so if you want the car color-consistant then you'll have to paint those areas too.

I've never seen a duster in plum crazy but I love that color. I knew someone with a hemi orange (or was it street hemi orange?) duster that was sweet. It had the twister decal package with the hoodstripes and logos.

You may want to get a plastic model kit or three and try different colors
on that. This would be a big help in combining interior and exterior colors
to see what they look like together.
Be carefull about using real auto touch-up paint as it eats plastic. Use the paint from
a hobby shop. A good hobby shop will have a variety of colors that will
be a close match for Mopar colors

Nice car. It will look awesome once you get it repainted, especially with the scoops and the spoiler. Put on a set of Rallyes while you are at it. 8)

Has any one seen the 73 duster that they are giving away at the mopar at the strip? if you haven't go check it out in the new mopar muscle magazine. after seeing that i'm really thinking of doing something like that.

This will be my first year at the strip with my slant six hope fully i'll be ready to race and have some color on it by then
