    It has been a busy fall so far with household things and family events. But I did get a furnace for my shop. It is now nice and warm in there and much better working conditions. I finally got to spray some paint. It's not much but it is a start.

    I don't know why they are upside down. They are right in my computer.

    Looks good. Are these iphone pics? I read that you have to take pics with the volume buttons facing DOWN and the camera shutter release to the right. You can rotate them all over the place after you take the pic but it doesn't help when you post them for some reason.

    I got most of the painting done over the last week. I tried Chevynut's idea about how to hold the phone so the pics aren't upside down. Let's see if it works.

    I have several pictures but for some reason I can only upload this one. It is probably my bad internet service. I live in a rural area and there is only one internet provider that can serve my house and their service has gotten terrible.

    My favorite 56 color combo. Question was the bottom of hood body color factory. The OEM unrestored HT I have is black b0ttom Sirrea Gold top.

    I believe the bottom of the hood was originally semi-gloss black. I am painting several things under the hood body color instead of black.

    Thanks, I thought semi gloss was OEM, just been seeing enough on net the other way to make me wonder.
