Update ...I scraped the paint off behind the passenger seat and found that the car was originally IVORY.

This car is turning out nice! Took it out for about 30 miles and it was fun! Lots of waves. I think today is the day the top goes on.

Nice work. The waves make it worthwhile don't they?

Well I made a decision today to sell my 62. It's listed in the FS section here on the forum. I've had a fun and rewarding experience and want to thank all of you that helped along the way. There is an incredible knowledge bank here in our forum with great people willing to share their wealth of knowledge and decades of experience. I am proud to be a member and support as much as I can. Thanks again!
Mike
