Make sure that if you do see a 1961 painted what you think is Academy Blue, that Ford also offered a Light Blue = COLOR code D.

Most people never repaint the area under the seat, or the firewall under the dash...look there.

Bill,
I looked under the dash and the factory paint is a very light dusting but it looks darker than what they used. whats in the interior now looks more like 1970 mustang grabber blue. I guess I'll just buy a small qty of the original color and see what it looks like.

You can find these chips online...but the problem is...when the chips are transfered to a digital format, they will appear darker than original.
