i was thinking about resurrecting this bug in the near future, but wanted to hear peoples thoughts on the color. Looking at the color charts it looks to be Jupiter gray, idk? Let me know what you think.

My turn... "that will buff out " 
If you carefully used a sand bag and a rubber mallet you can save that patina driver rear fender .
The rear quarter does look tweaked ; but that's fixable
I started with an empty shell for my project

| good thought Pete! The bug is pretty crusty, but i think it's savable. The missing hood would be the one thing that disrupts all the patina factor |

That's L469 Anthracite baby. Welcome to the cool kids club.
How do I believe it to be Anthracite and not Jupiter? It's a deluxe saloon.
The problem with that car is a biggie- if it has had no hood for a long time, the A pillars are toast.

ok, now i see on that on the color charts, yes the pillars are toast. I think she's worth saving though, even just to preserve it for a future project  |
