Doing good.
Mine's kind of in ''paint jail'' as I'm not satisfied with the spraycan color being a correct factory ''Fawn.''
Taking my chances with Duplicolor ''Light Driftwood Sand.''

OK. My '68 Stepside was 516 Orange outside and inside, but with a silver Fawn trim -- door panels, visors, seat vinyl, belts, dash pad, column and wheel.

Mine is the same but I’m not worried about authenticity.

Well, me neither. I was stating how it was when I bought it. In fact a half-century of dailiy driver use has seen a lot of changes. Currently it has blue visors -- custom plywood door panels, walnut-stained -- a '69 T-Bird electric bench bottom/bucket back seat upholstered in saddle. Dash pad recovered in the same saddle vinyl. Belts are original, but should be replaced for safety.
So if the wheel isn't Factory Fawn, it will bother nobody but myself.
