So what we're saying is I'm pretty much doomed if I want to restore with original colors inside and out if I A) do not want to spend a fortune, B) want to attempt to do the paint myself, C) do not want to spend a fortune???
Believe me the Color is the least of your expenses when you are restoring one. Ford restorations do not discriminate on the cost of color!...

HUH? I didn't steal it, I just showed the picture in your link fully attributed to you in the quote. Kind of a jerk response in my opinion.

Sorry, didn't mean you stole it. I have seen my pics on other sites that I didn't post before and thought you had posted a link to another site, (that someone else posted) that's all. Didn't mean anything Bad by it. -Ed

Maybe final color does not discriminate, but changing colors does cost more compared to retaining the original color. (think dash/door jambs/other interior paint)

I've got a green truck..
1975 Hataras Green to be precise, and It is staying Hataras green.
I found a few years back, that I just don't care what color a car is, so long as it is a color.
