hey Hemi Moose
Thanx man for your continued interest in finding the history of my "unknown soldier". I really appreciate it !!!!!!
I've looked all these pictures over many times searching for something I'd missed. I haven't seen the blue before, but I think I see where you mention. Honestly, I don't think we can trust some of the colors that come through in these old pictures. There is alot of that blue/green hue in them, so I really can't say for sure there's anything there. The rest of the jambs look to be the original black that was applied by ma mopar in 68. The black on the rockers was applied by Paul Pittman when he painted it white for Lou Vignonia in 85.
All it's previous colors were eventually blasted off previous to being restored by Tim Hennessey.
I have a couple pictures on a PDF file that were sent to me by Paul Pittman of the car after it was chemically paint stripped previous to it's white paint in 1985. I've been tring to convert them over to a jpg file, but have been unable to do so. They clearly show the Lakewood 3 point rollbar in it, but again it's very hard to see any colors on it, just bare steel.
More to come on Wild Fire
