The body shop didn't end up with a code they could share with me because they tweaked the color manually. |
Well Orange Sunshine is sort of a spotted dog right now: Driver's Side Front Fender is half in primer. Fifty-plus years of ''Arizona Pinstripes'' -- faint long streaks from cruising the brush country and getting scratched by cacti, mesquite, and whatever other defensive vegetation has contrived to survive this harsh environment. Passenger Side Front Fender is 2-toned copper/white/copper off a 71/72 GMC. Rocker panels are shot. And of course my Orange Crushed right rear Fender.
Although I was proud of still having the Original Paint -- how much of it is still left?
The Parthenon wasn't built square. Because of its scale, it was built by eye.
Had it been built square the ends would be seen tapering off.
