Thanks, Sal
Sal, I do have Charlie build my carbs. The one on this car was NOS but obviously still needed a rebuild. I mention that as the "color" is stock.
The authentic plating for 1939 - 1940 was pretty much what you see on this car. However, as you know better than most, there were slight variations. I've seen some NOS carbs that has a slight pinkish tint and others a slight bluish tint.
Perhaps what I see as bluish, you see as greenish.
