    I appreciate your comments. Its all good.

    I had no idea this project would go this far. One thing has lead to another. I have a hard time just leaving something go that I know I can fix. For example, I tore apart the alternator since it looked like crap even though it worked well. It looks brand new now and still works great. (saved $285 by cleaning and repainting)!!!

    It was origninally Burnt Amber (looks like a bronze or copper color). It is the same color as CMPRSD's (Hal's) awsome farline squire pictured in micks woodgrain section which is seen below.
    Right now I am planning on going original since the cars interior is saddle and It is a unique color.

    Stefan we need another Virtual Award, best tint of browns!

    That is one fine looking colour. HandyAndy's new Mabel Fairmont (he named it) is within that range, mine is in there too, but no metallics. Good choice. :D

    Ok on the other. Done.

    I used Rustoleum Professional Stainless Steel Color 7519838


    It is the best match for stainless I have come across and it looks great.
    You can buy it at Lowes

    It does look mint! I did the insides of my plastic lense cases with Krylox Chrome to get the reflective quality back to snuff. It sticks better on plastic, after you use a plastic cleaner. Found out the hard way.
