I bought a new camera and I finally snapped a few pics. I have been busy sanding and replacing a few parts. Last fall I scored a sweet hood and a better windshield (not installed with pics). So after covering up a few strange holes (there was really no rust on the 66 Patrol - thanks to AZ climate) I hit it with primer. I will be taking it to a local paint shop the first of Aug to get a fresh paint job. I just didn't want to tackle paint without a garage. By the way, I have not decided on a color yet. I'm leaning to a gloss army green. I think the Frontiers and Xterras in the late 90s came with it. I wanted to stay with a Nissan color, but who knows what it will come out looking like anyway.

Before:


With Primer:

Looking good.

That color you're looking for is called Canteen and it was a 2003 Xterra color only.

Yes, I knew it was a short run. Thanks for the name of it. The guy at the paint shop really had no clue. I might just have him try to match it. They seem pretty good if you bring in a paint code sample. I imagine the Nissan dealer (with body shop) can pull a code sample for me.

That's going to be nice! Good color choice, too.

the canteen green was also offered on the '04 Titans, and maybe '04 Frontys, too...

No more camo

Well, the green will look awesome.

Couldn't have said it better myself...GREAT color choice, and that thing will be looking "TITS" !!!!! Later...

Looks great. I'm glad those parts worked out for you. It will look good in green.

The patrol will preform well, what is the drive train going to be. You keeping the inline 6?

I don't know exactly which green your talking about. 96-97HB's received a dark green, a ton of frontys got a dark green color. It's kinda a common color for late model Nissan vehicles.

If you plan to do some heavy wheeling you might want to pick a color which Is easily repairable.

Umm, you maybe didn't know that it has a D44 front, a Ford 9in rear and a 302 V8 with a C6 tranny and I think a Dana 20 Tcase.

Or at least it did when Datz and I owned it.

Well I decided on Nissan's Tank Green color. It seemed appropriate somehow I pick it up on Friday.
I think it should look like this:
