Kevin, yep, they're black. I was there last Friday and they were black. Forgot my camera. Glued and screwed the drain plugs in. He was going to shoot the trunk either Saturday or today. I'm supposed to go over to put it on the chassis Friday afternoon. Then I can take back that damn rotisserie, maybe Sunday? I haven't talked to Tracy yet. I want to confirm I'm on schedule with the painter, I'll see him Wednesday. If you're not busy Friday at 1pm, come on over to drop the body on.

Great day today. The body was placed on the chassis for the last time. The floors and firewall are all done, and the trunk was sprayed while it was still on the rotisserie. It was fantastic to finally see some color on the car.

Here's what the trunk looks like indoors. Yorktown Blue. This is about what I expected the color to look like. A Light Blue Silver Metallic.

I was pleasantly surprised when we got the car pushed outdoors. The Yorktown Blue completely changed and got much more blue. There's a ton of fine metallic and some pearl in the color. I like. I can't wait for the rest of the car to be like this.

most folks judge a 40 year old color and do not realize how it looks fresh and in modern bc/cc. You suddenly realize why the car was ordered in that shade originally. Anyway...sharing your joy vicariously, Ron! Been a long time coming. Now...the fun begins! Call if you need anything. I've got some spare time on my hands nowdays. Take care. Ron
