    Very nice job Hunter, I am not a Green fan, but that Jet Green supersedes my non-preference for Green, it IS beautiful!

        Back in 1964 five new RHC '64 Hawks were shipped into Melbourne including one Jet Green plus my Strato Blue version. That Jet Green model certainly looked stunning at the time so good luck with the progress on yours.

            im keeping it all original( besides the color).. going with the green interior.
            its been a job.. rough barn find but its had an off the frame restoration. underneath is all painted and sealed up.
            im happy so far just takes a lot of time and money

              The dark colors really brought out the beauty in the Hawk, more so than the lighter ones such as white. That showed in sales such as when the black Hawk was used so much in 62.


              Green is not one of my favorites but the Jet Green on yours looks stunning!

                That dark green looks nice. I agree with the comment about dark colors on a Hawk. Are you painting right there in your garage? Also, what kind of paint are you using? I have been thinking of painting my 52 at home when the time comes.

                  A friend of mine bought a new Jet Green 1964 Hawk. He kept it quite awhile (about 20 years). I always liked the color. My 1964 Hawk was/is black.
