Latest On The Color Of The Gt...

Posted on: Monday October 10, 2005

Well I thought the color of the GT to be Harvest Gold when I first brought it home.. I had nothing else to go by other than I thought that was what Harvest Gold would look like... lbcnut posted a shot of his newly acquired '70 roadster and called it Bronze Yellow and I thought to be closer to the shade of my GT and started looking around for other examples of the color using Google's "Images" option...

Welders, Repairs And Carb Adjustments...

Posted on: Friday October 7, 2005

Well the color I thought was Ochre I believe now to be Autumn Leaf... it is darker than the photos of the Ochre trim in Clausager's... It is of the same nylon material as the other had been described as... So, that's fine, there is still the body and trim color combination that has me scratchin' me 'ead...?? This way also the Autumn Leaf covers will be an easy fix... I drove the car up to the garage this afternoon with the intend to re-attach the exhaust that I had caught on the trailer while...
