Re: looking for a source of Tacoma cream paint
I just painted my rims. I had a hard time finding paint. Mix up my recipe and see how it fairs. It looks great on my wheels and it matched the color of my rims extremely close.

I'm going to,use original steel as spatters, so the proportions would be the same.

Re: Model A Huckster Group
Is there any way to modify a coupe firewall to make a huckster from it?
I can't figure out the difference where the wood attaches to the firewall.
