Custer rides again! Congrats (and stay out of that tree or it might be your last stand). The ground is hard and the sudden stop tends to hurt.

That paint code looks like a 7 to me, as best as I can make it out.

Bright Yellow Gold Metallic is what your decoder says if it is a 7 and that sounds about right... too bad you don't see many more this color

fired Mr Custer up and let it run for a little bit just to make certain all the antifreeze had circulated through due to the cold weather not much has been happening but i have been slowly dealing with all the wiring on Custer one at a time so maybe one day i will have tail lights and turn signals if she ever leaves the farm again
