It's painted the same color as the roof. I am going to paint the same color between the mouldings on the side. BTW Thanks

Today I wanted to drive it on the road. First I played around with the new advance timing light. I have a total of 36* advance with the distributor vac disconnected at 2500-3000 rpm (no tach). It ended up being 10-12* advance at idle. After talking to Ronnie he said I need to bump the timing on up to 14-16* and try that. It is a dog starting off.

I discovered that some of my pulley's are 5 rib and not 6. I pulled the belt off and took a razor blade to it. Most of one rib was already cut thru. I think I still need to tinker with it the belt is not centered on the idler.
