Yep, the only little problem is ... getting the @#$#%$^$%#$ paint.

I am getting ready to start do some body work. More and more hidden corners show that the original color was OD # 24087. The first repaint job was probably done in 1973, in a darker green, probably the # 34079 Forest Green. Maybe here you see the original OD with the faded forest...
