Title: Intresting find on Fog light
Post by: 68 S Code on July 29, 2011, 12:58:07 AM

I was cleaning up the fog lights today and I found a paint daub on one of the blue plug ends. It is a darker blue than the light blue plug.  Has anyone else found a mark similar to what I'm describing? I will post a pic once I download the camera. I wonder if the other fog light wire had a similar mark but in a different color? Can't see any trace of it though.

Here is the pic I promised to post.

Also posting a pic of the grille I just finished. A big thanks to Marty for forwarding me a color chip of the correct two tone color for the 68 GT grille. I've already moved on to starting to assemble the interior.

Nice work on grill detail. Did you leave the rivets unpainted? Marty

Regretfully no. The black was painted 24 years ago so well before i knew of that kind of detail stuff. I still need to touch those up with silver. Do you guys just free hand them with a modelers brush. You don't tape them out do you? Thanks for the color chip. We had a heck of a time trying to match it. That color is really complex from what the painter told me. Its got grey, blue, purple and......
