Default Henrietta out of hiding

It's been a while since I posted something, thought I'd get back on fordbarn and share a few photos. I wrote a brief story about my 1931 Deluxe Tudor that I found on eBay on a Friday in March, 2007 and purchased the next day. I got the car running a month after the purchase and then licensed "Henriett" in December. I happily drove it, rusty here and there and no interior, until I saw a restored Dlxe 55-B and got the bug to have the car restored. It came home in January and I'm still working on the interior and need to get the sun visor on but will have it registered and licensed by the end of this week.
Hopefully the before, during, and after photos were uploaded.
Don't you just love the rebirthing of these old girls???

PS(the story was in The Restorer in 2007 or early 2008 and the car is named Henrietta, not Henriett, I can't type sometimes.)

Is that Brewster green (light or dark) on the body? What is the color and code?

Brewster Green upper body, Apple Green wheels (pin stripe not yet applied inside or outside). PPG, Delfleet Essential polyurethane single stage, looks like the Brewster Green is #502544 and the Apple Green is #502785 although the "7" has paint running over it on the paint can so it's a good guess. I don't believe that there was a Brewster Green light or dark choice for the "A" but I can tell you this is a dark green and it's gorgeous if I don't say so myself.
Tried to upload two more photos but got this message after trying (system administrator take note!):

Great looking car and colors. Looks like another nicely restored one in front of it also.
