I’m having second thoughts and thinking I like the gloss looking tail light surrounds over the matte finish....
convince me otherwise!

Hot Damn!! 
what a gorgeous ride - well done. 
reminds me of better days with mine. 
Yesterday I got her running to move her into storage (to await the second restoration). It’s been a year since the crash and I’d forgotten how much fun she was to drive!

It was a club ride a long time ago.  Not sure where it is now.  The owner sold it. It was beautiful. I thought the light rear finisher would be of interest.

I think there is a golden club and a green club happening here on the forum... very organic and natural as Matsuo has stated regarding the early colours.  But Tomato, Dijon, and Cucumber also come to mind.

Why is that?  That #110 240 I bought had that same silver looking finish.  Is it just a coincidence or is there a reason?  Thanks!

Just thought about something, Wick Hubble's restore book had a paint mix code for that.  Maybe that's where it came from?
