Pulled it out of the garage to make room for a painting project.

PJ... What paint code, manufacturer, shade did you use to get vintage RPO516 Orange?

The body shop that painted my replacement door and fender did a color match. The owner of the shop said paint absorbs ash out of the air over the years, so it gets darker. I agree with his assessment because the paint that is hiding underneath trim is significantly lighter and is a pretty close match to this stuff that I have bought a couple of times in a spray can to paint small spots like the angled bed strips.

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.

Wow. Everest Auto is a great link. They even have GM '67 Fawn, besides GMC Tangier Orange 516. Although I know 1974 wasn't the year of that hue's introduction.

Looking good fellas.

We got close to a foot of wet spring snow Today.

Well, I missed Saturday by two days, but here's my 69 up in the air getting a new GM permanent magnet mini-starter and some exhaust work.

It's Wednesday now, but I need an excuse to post this somewhere.

**MikeB** · 07-06-2022, 11:51 AM

That's a beauty.

400 SBC or 402 BBC?

Ekliptix · 07-06-2022, 11:54 AM

It started life as a 350. Now it's a 402 BB, heads, cam, EFI, 700R4.

**MikeB** · 07-06-2022, 11:55 AM

Simply fantastic. I live the OE look.

And you made the top of the page.

Very Nice start for page 23 . I had the same feeling about this picture and 'cause I never said we had to stay with 67-72 pickups. Here we are.
