Poor Volvo, rust never sleeps.

There are several sources of OEM paint colors mostly designed for use with an Air Brush. A couple of spray can options, Model Master #28132 is supposed to be a match for the original Ford Wimbeldon White. The problem is finding it now since Rust-Oleum has taken over the ownership. The other, and most easily found, would be Tamiya TS-26 Pure White.

Great paint color and finish match. Trim and interior look to be like the original.

Beautiful reproduction of your friend's pickup. I like how you recreated the hood trim.

Great looking paint and body work. Like the engine and suspension setup.

Great looking paint color you concocted along with the finish. The body stripping is all cleanly done. Like the engine detailing.

Beautiful paint finish and like the "school bus yellow" color. Great looking engine and chassis detailing.

I can see why they would want to feature this model. Besides the beautiful looking finishes this has a very realistic look to it.

Great body design. Like the signage as well.

Working for a Chevrolet dealership this was one of the safest colors to order for inventory since almost anyone would switch to this shade of blue if their desired color wasn't available.

Like the Gasser style here. Clean looking body trim and paint. The engine is front and center as it should be.

Great color combination and like the engine swap.

Beautiful paint finish and color. The stripes and trim all look perfect. Like the engine details.

Great looking paint work. The Chevy II roof really changes the look of the whole body.

Beautiful looking paint color and stripe combination. Saw your interior in your WIP and it looked as good as the body. Like the engine detailing and the stance.

These represent the hub caps that were offered for the Corvette.

You might check on one of the CHP web sites that end in .GOV. Long ago I used the CHP site to reify information on models of cars used thru the years. As a former California resident, I found it interesting that in the quarter century since leaving the state they had even used Volvos at one time. They offered pictures of the many different vehicles used thru the years and they clearly showed the different ways that some were painted depending on their use in the fleet.

Great looking build and the story helps envision what it is you're looking at and explains what all has been done. Like the body paint and door signage. You're right about the od shaped camper shell. Don't recall ever seeing one like that but that doesn't mean it didn't exist. Like the stance along with the wheel & tire setup.

Part of the problem in locating the "Vault" may be attributed to one of the searchers years ago that went looking with a large CAT tractor and sort of stirred up half the island. I still find the story line about the history interesting, but the VOICE keeps repeating over and over what you may have already seen several times already. They can really drag this out, but as long as The History Channel is supporting this, they might as well ride that pony as long as they can.

Beautiful looking paint color and finish. Clean body trim.

I agree with you on Ford should have offered the Boss 429 in the Fairlane body since they were using it in NASCAR anyway. Great body color and like the wheels.

Like the stance.

Very clean looking build and like the racing stripe.

Great looking paint color and finish, like the clean body trim. The engine detailing is very realistic looking and well done. The chassis and wheel & tire combination is as remembered from that era.

Smooth paint finish and like the Olive Drap shade of green. Great looking interior and engine detailing.
