Engine rebuild underway & color research

Engine rebuild underway (@ Twin City machine shop).

Some research notes...


Replacing sills. Found a good write-up @ http://elanplus2.webs.com/repairsandupgrades.htm


Engine color: "The closest is a Massey Ferguson Stoneleigh Grey enamel, to which you need to add a little blue enamel, all according to Miles Wilkins." O "Gray enamel."


Valve color is 
"Crinkle red."


Update 1: Chevy Red is very close to the original Crinkle Red.
Update 2: "New Ford Gray" is a good match for the original long block color.
