Default Yellow '73 with T70Rs

Just bought a set of 15X8 T70Rs, 255/60 in the rear and 235/60 in the front.

Thought I'd post in case someone else was considering the combo.

R,
Steve

Sorry for the late reply, it is the orginal '73 yellow code 952 Bright Yellow, with a European clear coat. I don't know the code for the clear, but the paint shop said it's quite a bit more expensive than the clear used on domestics. I'll call the paint shop tomorrow and get you the info on the clear coat.

Rebuilt the engine at the auto hobby shop on base in Hawaii in 2004. No, I didn't go with Chevy Orange, it's a GM Blue. If I had to do again I would have stuck with Chevy Orange, but I'm sure I'll rebuild it again so no worries.
