five1oh Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Darin, Question for you - was your 510 a factory white? (looks to be in the photos). If so what 3 digit paint code is it? and did you have the engine bay resprayed in the correct color? My 1969 is my favorite factory white which I call egg shell but the paint code sticker is worn so bad I can't make out which code it is. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes this is the factory paint that was under all that house paint. Funny my car was produced in 69. My paint code is 831 2 Quote Link to comment

I also just noticed no A-pillar antenna 🙂 Are you going to try and source metal pillar vents now? Possibly a '69 dash? Curious because '69 is my favorite year. I actually love the long dash except no tach ☹️. The '69 dash pad was cleaner than '68 IMO. Can't wait to see this car on the road..........I really need to get to work on my '69 lol Edited June 26, 2019 by five1oh 1 Quote Link to comment

And I’m gonna keep the stock dash. But 69 is my fav too. I used to have one but it had bubble flares so I sold it years ago. Don’t even know if it’s alive still. Can’t wait to see your 69 all done. Your gonna keep it og right ? 2 Quote Link to comment
