Mo,
Thanks for the info on the primer and wheels.
Well, here I am again with a couple more questions. You said your dad was enjoying this, so here goes.
Getting back to the guy who removed the build sheets and marked the trim and paint codes on the firewall before the body went into the booth.....does your Dad know what kind of marker they used? Wax type crayon, paint stick, or other? I've confirmed that those markings were indeed under the paint, but the numbers don't seem to disolve in thinner very well.
Ques. #2: Is it possible that rather than writing the 3 digit paint code (or even in some cases just 2 digits, since the first was always the same), they used just one number, possibly to identify the hose/gun number?
Thanks again. There's nothing like an education from first hand experience.
