Thanks!
Paint color is PPG brand 'Torrid Red'.
The local Maaco painted the parts for me. And they did a great job for the money.

Got that right! The road from my house to the lake hadn't been hit with it for awhile so it was a safe to go for a quick ride.
They like to use salt and sodium chloride on the roads around here like McDonald's pours on french fries. Nasty stuff, but from your signature you know it already.

Glad you guys enjoyed the pictures - I had fun doing it.

Yes, it looks great! No driving on water/ice around here. The only ice we have is in the freezer.
That is the best looking Maaco paint job that I have seen.

Last year I went fishing up north and the ice was 36" thick. You can take a pulp truck loaded with drunk hippo ladies anywhere out on that.
Here is a picture taken out on the ice on Lake Superior. Whitefish Point and a snow storm are off in the distance to the left. I don't know how thick the ice was but it was plenty cold. Lots of ice driving up there.

Here's my latest...
Added the different style HVAC controller and



the baby poop brown color isn't represented properly here. But, the upholstery is done. The passenger's side is covered with a second skin so I can put my kid's carseats on the bench. The pleats are just sewn in on the cover. Pretty good match though!





the color of the dash panel is a little more representative.

this photo, to my eye, accurately represents the color. I'd call it Saddle. Tan / orangish / brown.

More snow pictures

Taken today...
Fired it up to charge the battery and move fresh gas through the carb.

Can't drive it anywhere due to an enormous amount of salt on the roads. Waiting for spring or May 1st, whichever comes first.
