Just picked up my first 40 - Couple of questions (4 Viewers)

[Mark WV]

I’m planning to use Al Jacobs’ pumpkin orange on my 74 project.

At least when first applied, the 304 Pollux Orange is a bit too bright for my taste. -
However based on lots of photo research it would appear that the Pollux orange fades out to more closely match Al Jacob’s orange…

My problem is that the link for Al Jacob’s’ formula apparently no longer exists on the internet 10+ years later. Would someone who has it please be kind enough to post it here?

Thanks

the hatch is better than the amby doors anyway.

Heresy and lies.

Needs more bracing on the tub with that much of it cut out.

Sounds like jealousy to me

Not shown in the pics but I have just about finished welding in the quarter panels - no alignment issues so far. Solid as a rock once the quarters get attached to the rear sill bar…

My 80 has a hatch. Every time I want to get in the back, I have to open the swing out.

Not having to pull the barn doors to take the top off the 40 would be nice.

I love the custom tailgate!

It came with the Aqualu tub.
