The engine is some shade of green now but needs some freshening up. We're wondering if it is the correct green so we can match it or if we need a different green. "It's just a phase.

(but not the shade or color code) I am going to assume that it is a dark hunter style green! I will try and get in touch with Patrick this thursday... he might know! It takes a long time to do these things with only every other weekend off! Deluxe \'52, Savoy \'54 Apache59 "She may not be the youngest girl at the ball, but she can still turn a head or two."
