I told the shop it should be "Refrigerator White", but I am a little nervous, have only seen these pictures. It looks like Spinnaker White................. I hope not.

Great looking car. What was the hardest parts to obtain or did you have everything?

Actually nothing was hard to find. Whenever I needed parts, particularly body parts, it was easy to find. Total time to restore, 18 months.
