yeah i should have clarified my question better. I know the paint code as shown in your link. I was more looking to see if anyone has a paint code from a todays paint supply company that matches the L315. I wasn't sure if i could call up DuPont or of the like and tell them i need jungle green L315??

Glasurit got it. Painted my car 21 years ago with Glasurit, people dont think it is that old (and I have never polished it).

Replace the re apron today. I remove the apron and left the inner structure that the engine seal attached to. the replacement one was not the best and i wanted to keep as much OG paint as i could. took a Little long but am happy with the results

started in the on the front apron.passengersanger side was hit lightly at some point in its life. I removed the apron and innerwheele weel section. welded a bracket on the front of the quarter section and pitled ip out the best i could. didn't want to weld a right side clip on so i just pulled it out and hammer and dolly it.

while waiting on the front apron to show up i decided to cleanup the passenger side front quarter to see what the end result will look like.

removed some of the surface rust to get more green to show through. then clear coated it to see how it will look.


I LIKE IT A LOT!!

been doing lots of work on the 56. replaced the pan halves. built a set of notched extended springplates. installed the trans and motor. found out the #1 cylinder seized to the side wall at some point. I was told that the motor probably needed rebuilt. Built the front safari window frame. started figuring out the shape rear safari window.

with as many panels i have had to replace. Its at the point where its actually going to get repainted. If all the fenders, hoods and doors where OG then it would stay patina'd.
