I took the easy way out on paint matching. There was a lot of color left on the inside of brackets so I just went to Lowes and bought the closest matching color I could find in a spray can. (Rustoleum). The rubber brackets were all in good shape so I just cleaned them up and reused them.

Not much to report the last few weeks. Got a few parts on the engine and got the rear end installed. One thing I ran across is the stock length ebrake cables are stretched to the max with the 2 inch lift springs. For the moment I'm proceeding with the assumption that the weight of the tub will give me enough slack. Does anyone know if this indeed the case? On another note, I guess I got lucky as all the rest of my inline tube stuff fit nicely.
