Default Progress on 41 woodie

I flew out to California to inspect it. Almost done. I got quite the bargain on ebay. For less than the cost of polishing my fender trim I got a freshly polished set including the hard to find front piece. I've got a mixture of early and late fenders, front early, rear late so I'll drill some holes in the front for the trim. And the color I'm considering. It is 50/51 sportsman green. As you can tell from my avatar I like loud colors for woodies. I bought a qt(before I buy 2 gallons) of 41 green looked like army green, 40 green too dark, and 57 seamist green and didn't them as much. I don't think auto color library got the 40 and 41 green right but I didn't like what they sent. Panels will be figured maple on the outside and plain maple on the inside.



40 green 57 green, 41 green

Found out the front doors that came with the car are 42/48 not that being authentic is that important to me. Oh and I had them make 42/48 doors for the rear so I would have roll down windows. I'm having it done at American Automotive Woodworking. Probably not the best place. I consider it somewhat of a gamble. I already have a fleet, 36,41,49. I'll probably sell a couple soon.
