[6pack] Need your opinions, please!

Greg,

  The color looks more like the Laurel Green (Triumph code 55) used 69-71. 
It looks great and will really show off the chrome.  Unless you're going for 
max originality points (was that a triple-carb manifold I saw???), leave as 
is and get on the road that much sooner.
