As far as the paint goes its PPG and they call the library back east to get the formula. The gal mixing thought it was to courses of a metallic compared to my sample. I only bought a quart of it. She was right so the next quart I went with a fine metallic should bring a bit more blue out of it and less metallic the guy that mixed the second one up look it up and found that One manufacture used a fine in there mix and the rest used course .???? thanks john

Thanks Nels the fine metallic looks to be right on . Shot the other quart of paint with the fine metallic in it looks good. It's a good time to figure out while doing interior panels . PPG #933746 FIZZ BLUE is what it's modern name is. Just have them substitute the course for fine metallic. And thanks to all others for the good words of encouragement. Thanks John

But having a Ray Tanner dealer frame is even better!
Or, the icing on the cake, The 1963 Green Valley Trophy!
But some serious work going on as well.

We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.
Ayn Rand: "You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality."
