Paint can and color code?

This is what I used.

  I initially used an Olive green but it was too light, so I went to Ace hardware and got a darker green.  I used the center part of the horn as the 'master' as it was in the best condition. 

The Camouflage paint is flat, so I added the gloss clear. A thin semi-gloss may be a little bit better replication.  I think the green is maybe a bit on the glossy side, but they do look pretty doggone close to the original.

They will probably flatten a little with time

The body shop finally had room availabe so we brought the car and all the panels down to the shop.  The plan is to media blast next week and then determine what panels will need to be replaced.  

Got the Block and Head back from the machine shop today.  Both look great and nicely done.  The block only needed a hone which is good, so we can stick with the original stock pistons and just get new rings.  Bearings will  be replaced with new stock rod and crank bearings. Oil galleys were cleaned and oil filter check valve and filter screen replaced.

The head had just one bad valve and all of the intake valve seats were replaced with the modern 'bronze' seats.  Valve guides were replaced.  The exhaust valve seats had been replaced during previous machine work.

I spent a little time sorting some of the plated hardware putting some of the more common parts in bags.  This will help things to move along a bit quicker during assembly time.

I really struggle with sorting the hardware. I just don't know it well enough anymore
