    Although that looked like a dark color in the dimly lit shop it changes dramatically in bright light. (the trash streaks on the cowl are not scratches, just body shop dust). These pictures are over a year old but may give you an idea of the effect of a fine metal flake size on color in different light levels. That is all from me now from old files so now I have to get back to some new work. You are way, way ahead of me with your 12-15 hour days but I can slowly peck away snd hope to wrap up the radiator shroud and reassemble the radiator shell and then get on to the tricky problem of fitting the metal hood to the 'glass body in the near future. As I said on on aother thread I am trying to do all the mechanical work and putting off the dreaded wiring problem but eventually I will have to face up to that. Maybe the metal hood (already painted the same color with the stock tall louvers) will give me enough work for quite a while? Keep up the great work; I envy your collection of body clamps!
