Waiting for the pics to open Mike, dial up connection you know!
The recessed bars in the radio and glove box grill were a slightly different shade than the over all interior. I don't think this is documented anywhere but it was that way on mine and it was original not repainted and I have seen it on many others. It only makes sense esthetically to break the grill up with a different shade just as they do with the radiator grill.
I hope that is your truck we are looking at Mike, I’m assuming that it is since it’s in you album. If not I would sure like to talk to the owner about where the interior paints came from.
Ahh, the first picture just opened, YES, YES, your camera skills are to be applauded!!!
That’s it, the same shade I was attempting to describe. Must be the sunlight that gives you the right color, all of my light was artificial and it just shows up gray.
So are you saying that the paint for the steering components in this picture came from Jimmy Carter, how about the interior color?
I bought a qt. of his interior paint and it was flat as a chalkboard, had no metallic in it and the shade was WAY off, so I’m kind of gun shy toward JC’s paint. I’m wondering now if I just didn’t get a bad batch?
But that’s why I’m so absolutely convinced that the PPG paint offsets are the only way to go with the interior of an AD.
Now the engine picture, very nice, what did you/they use on the carburetor?
Thanks for the pic, that really helped me.
