'71 longhorn got tired of primer gray.

A little "rattle can" butternut yellow. The lady at the paint store offered to mix me up a gallon to save some bux.
Helluva lot better than the primer gray that was on the '71 longhorn.LOL

It aint much but it's paid for, runs perfect and the grandkids love riding in the back.
just a little "bodywork" then spray it with white on top.

i did mask it off, left a strip of masking tape on the fenders and top of grill.LOL
That "phantom" butternut yellow on the grill is actually masking tape. damm, it does look like paint though!
chrome is gonna stay chrome, top is gonna stay white and everything else butternut yellow.
