Using a foreign car color would be two alterations... are you looking to be put into the Custom/Super Modified Class. rob 1 7 Quote

Canuck Posted December 28, 2023 Author Posted December 28, 2023 It was actually warm enough to push the 70 out of the garage to wash the firewall and frame getting it ready for paint. Also washed up the bumper filler so it can paint it the correct silver colour. The body shop back in 2000 painted it body colour in error. 12 Quote
