Too damn pretty to ruin by starting the engine up!

Only wish I could see the pictures for some reason they don't open up! Is anyone else having that problem?

Default 71 Engine Color

I have had the color matched for my 71 TA using remaining color on filter adapter because i could not find it to buy. The person Steve at our local Car Quest Store did the match and has an outstanding repatriation for color match. The attachments show a W Pump I painted and the filter adapter together. The picture does not tell the whole story but believe me the match is dead on. I have included the formulas for a pint and a spray can.
Its different because of the amounts.Steve said it would be best to use Dupont paint or it might not match.

Lighting and shadows makes it look like it might be a little off, but then again in other areas looks good. Also I am sure once it gets some heat cycles it'll change slightly. But looks good otherwise.
