Re: ET mag selection for my '62...Opinions????
I appreciate all the votes guys.
 This is how it looked in the late '70s at E-Town.  I'm leaning toward natural or medium myself. He also had the brake drums painted blue, but that's one feature I'm NOT bringing back...  Verne

I like that look.
Do you still have the tach on the dash?

I'll probably put the tach back on the steering column where it was originally. There are no extra holes up on the dash; he made a bracket that used an existing inst cluster hole.

I like the dark gray, but it's hard to beat that pic of it at English Town.

Re: ET mag selection for my '62...Opinions????
Thanks Darren.........I was afraid someone would say that.
 I still have those tires but I was planning to get rid of them and go with blackwalls.  This is what they looked like right after I got the car home and washed it down. It sure is nostalgic, but they never really grew on me.  I hope you haven't started another voting campaign..  Verne  Earlier that same day with 2 of my best friends

Re: ET mag selection for my '62...Opinions????
Verne,
LOOOVVE you car. It's like a car I had back in 1979. Mine was a bench with the spaghetti shifter. Unfortunately there are only a couple photos of it that I know of. After I got married and fell on some hard times I reluctantly sold it. It was a very sad day indeed. Heres one of the few photos of it at Indy at the Car Craft Nationals.  Im getting misty eye'd, Man some day I hope I can cruise in it with ya. White walls there also!

Re: ET mag selection for my '62...Opinions????
Carl,
Sorry to hear you had to sell yours. ( I know the remorse because I'm selling a '61 that I really wanted to bring back). Your old car looks like Nassau Blue, just like mine. (personal taste, but probably the best color in '62! )Looks like yours had 2x4s. VERY bad situation there. Drinks TOOOOO much gas. NO good for commuting. On a serious note.........when mine is back on the road, you are most welcome to share the experience with me (limpy shifter and all)  Verne  PS: I would have been ALL OVER that car if I'd been there in '79
