Re: 1973 RS/LT/Z28 4spd - Gold/Parchment Restoration
When color matching clips, primers, inspection marks etc I use a set of PANTONE color chips as a standard. Pantone Matching books are available worldwide as the printing/graphic arts industry uses them religiously. If you have ever picked out colors for a business card at a commercial printer... you've used it.
The RED-BROWN primer...   New sub frame bushings and cushions, Double checking everything for panel alignment.... After I get my alignments I mic the shim packs and write the figure down on a copy of the assembly manual page that has fender attachments.     I'm waiting on the NOS urethane nose to check everything then we are going to give her some color...

Re: 1973 RS/LT/Z28 4spd - Gold/Parchment Restoration
For a guy who is a "first-gen-addict" you sure are passionate about 2nd gens. Great work James. Looking good. I like your attention to detail. Dennis Cumby turned me on to Pantone chips when I was looking for the correct color on my Ansen scattershield form my '70 Nova. Good stuff! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

It takes a NICE 2nd gen to get me interested as we drove/raced/wrecked these in high school and parted out real Z's nicer than the 6 cyl cars guys start with now. Was going through parts and found a bunch of trim rings... We also picked up a set of embossed bowtie NOS center caps.
