Looks like another epic project Ken. I'll be interested to see it when I'm at your shop in a couple of weeks.
Have fun and keep posting more pics! Thanks!

No, it's going to be bright white and lime green just like in the photo. I'm going full Colombian spec with this one. I'm soooo bored with cal-look, resto-cal, german-look, GFK-look, and even Jersey look is starting to bore me.

The Original wheels that were on it from SA.... Obviously I'm going to find a shade of orange/peach that is a better compliment to the lime green, and color match the white in the centers.

| What you need is a giant mural of Gerson riding a tiger, sword in hand, half naked Amazonian women surrounding him, and of course overlooking the great plains of South America. Trick. |

I agree..thats why stock never grows old. Timeless original look just wins.

it's good to know that the jersey look is still the freshest look out there in the minds of todays top restorers

Columbian spec is horrendously distorted metal, boogery gas welding, Concord noses, a cement truck load of Bondo, indescribable hacks, and "look at me, Yo soy pinche Machote" colors!

Columbian look is sooo played out. You need to do this on the cutting edge and go with a GDR look, complete with Trabant running gear and white-on-blue lightning bolts. Or maybe Lithuanian look with several coats of matte orange house paint.
