Hey! I saw these great ref pics on another site... from a '62 Chevy brochure! Now we know what colors to use!

Apparently, every V8 from that era was pained pink!

Detail it with some blue on the carb, fuel pump, etc!

If you transplant a six in the car, it's a black & blue...

Now I was surprised by the trans... and all this time, I thought they were aluminum!

Ditto with the frame! Again, pink! NOT black as previously thought! And that yellow suspension parts took me aback.

All in all, a very educational find, if I do say so myself!

By Golly, I have been looking for these references! Now I have enough to start my '62 Impala ragtop! Now, I don't think Dupli-color has these colors, I might have to custom mix. You'd think with them being factory colors, they'd be easy to find... thanks, Spyder!!!
