I can't say much because every time I see a car that color it reminds me of a neighbor I used to have who earned the nickname of "The jerk who lives down the street." Never knew his name but he drove some kind of Teal green Ford product.
I figured you might catch some flack about the hood but somehow the big cowl induction hood seems to work with the beak nose of the later body style. And I kinda' like your take on the strobe stripe. It's different than the AAR stripe but still reminds me of it. The one thing that always bothered me about the AAR stripe was the shield. Color-wise it always seemed to be a bit out of place.
