Wow. What in the cornbread-hell is up with all that wiring? Is any of it running power? If so, that should get taken care of ASAP.
Not sure if you’re planning on keeping the dual battery setup - running the cable inside of a hose across that section of upper firewall was a quick and easy way to...
Hmmmmm….
Looks like there’s been a lot of re-paints.
I’m wondering if that color inside the fuel door might be beige.(?)
The brown is definitely NOT original, so we can dismiss that.
Seeing that the roof and body were that same color raised my suspicions. Not sure I’ve ever seen a dark brown primer either. Maybe one of the color experts can chime in?
Congrats @acy76 on getting your first 55! Looks like you landed a heck of a rig!
So concerning your future plans for paint - what is the color that it currently is, and is it factory? I don’t recall seeing many that color, might be worth keeping it if it’s the original color.
