    Cool project , looks like it’s going to be an authentic recreation ! Hopefully not black like one of the versions of the original car , nice as they are ,too many blackĀ  34 Fords out there , even though hardly any trad customs !Ā  , Any idea what the pale pastel original colour was ?

    This is a colorized photo Mark did. And this is the color he will be using for his version of the car.

    Looks like mid-sixties Butternut Yellow; a favourite shade of mine! Ā Great choice – and looks swell in the pic!

    Mark temporarily lowered the rear to get a better look.

    De-arching the rear spring.

    The chalk line shows were it used to be.

    From Mark….

    Thanks to Mel @yeoleghost in New Jersey, he sold me just an outstanding Zephyr bumper that he had chromed many years ago and changed directions I am to say the least speechless. The overwhelming support from across the country to replicate the Wes Collins car just got real.
