Mike, The amount of detail you have put into the Pumpkin was (and still is) an inspiration to me. I'm always going back on your thread to see what you did. Your work is really the "standard" for our restoration projects.

Not recent, but just to maybe give you something else to look at, here's mine in Wimbleton White and Rangoon Red as purchased in 1986:



And here she is after I had her repainted Toyota Super Red and Toyota Super White a few years later:



Originally mine was red where Steve's is white and it was silver where Steve's is red, it had the chrome strip across back of cab but we removed it with the repaint.

Steve, thanks for the kind words. Hopefully I'll be back at the Pumpkin after the first of the year.

Have just been researching the stock color codes. My 1978 has TW Still rocking the original Candy Apple Red and White Paint 36 years later!!! Easily the best looking two tone combo.

Even without dent and race trac chrome, a 2 tone paint scheme is still doable.

And if you do have it, here is a different way to go.

When I eventually get around to painting my '78, I'm going with the red/white combo like in that first photo. Mine has no RaceTrac trim and is all red today
