Hi All,

Finally ready to paint my 68 500, was just inquiring if anybody would have the paint codes for the red and orange,

Hi Barrie,

Congrats on winning the category for the pre 1970's original with your Diablo and the honorable mention for the pre 1970's restored category, with your Hus Ski.

I was thinking that they might catch, the front ones on each side i think will be ok? , but you's

Thanks for your help guys.

Just wanted to send a few pics to show where I'm at. Here is the latest progress on my 500.

A big thanks to Mario Frappier for all his help with the fabrication!!
