Thanks Bob, DennyW and ProZ28, this Forum is great for me to get valuable advice. I already have a neighbor who has a nearby paint/body shop and he has done repair work for me in the past with excellent results. In addition he paints fiberglass boats so I will keep in touch with him, but really I plan to get the wiring in and the car running before I take it to him. Just day dreaming now but I am coming down to some form of maroon for color. I had a '47 Ford convert in high school which was painted the '47-'48 "Pheasant Red" which was really a dark red. If I can get that in Dupont Acrylic that might be my choice but the neighbor with the body shop has some beautiful color chips with modern metallic maroons and clear coat. I can worry over that while I am working on the wiring!
