Looks fairly close to me, the '70 fathom blue is not as dark as the '68 fathom blue. Just tell your paint guy to paint the top of the cowl black - not blue!!! I'm not sure what the carpet insulation is hanging behind the back seat for though....

The interior is not done, just some insulation material draped over the rear deck, inside being ued as storage.

I will convey the info on the cowl color. Thanks.

I have some pics of the engine compartment, engine, front clip, trunk, etc. that I would like for a Nova guru to look at and critique before the fenders are installed. Any interested parties that would like to review these and rip me an new one in the process please email me and I will forward for your review. I am trying to do this right. Thanks.

Uh Oh..That looks like code 26 Mulsanne Blue metallic to me.
Fathom Blue metallic is code 28,and is a lil darker compared to it.
Ask your jobber what paint formula he used and double check it against this..
1970 COLORS
I'm not a Nova guru,but I might be able to help on your L-78 engine details.
Can you email pics to me at [email protected]

I agree with Marlin. I think you're pretty close. You're in a dark building with a flash going off. Send me the pics, and the mixing code your guy used.
See if somebody can post some pics of Jensens fb deuce from the reunion. It's pretty close to correct except that it's deeper, and glossier because of it being bc/cc. We'll see if your mixing code is the same as ours. If not we'll send you ours. NPHNP
