Re: 35 Pickup Tool & Battery Box
Nice little box. It looks great. I would set it on some thin wood spacers to keep water from being trapped.

Re: 35 Pickup Tool & Battery Box
"Fab u lous " on the box ! Dearborn blue is very dark and in a garage can be taken for black very easily. Mine was that color and I do also have the little model. Nice to display

Re: 35 Pickup Tool & Battery Box
Bob is Dearborn Blue a close shade to Ford's Andalusite Blue they used on Model A's?? It is dark but almost a deep deep purple.
We all went down to Montreax, to the Lake Geneva shore-line (wait different Deep Purple I had a 1972 flashback) |

Re: 35 Pickup Tool & Battery Box
Oh boy Jeff, your asking a guy who is color blind ? I do have a Ditzler repaint manual with color chips. I think these are lacquer but it says Andalusite Blue is #121 for 28,29,30 and Dearborn Blue is #1442 and is a 34-35 color. The chip samples in the book look soooo close, I'd almost bet it to be the same. Holding it to the light the dearborn appears to be a tad darker. I got a good match on mine by taking an original head light bucket (inside) to get a good match.

Re: 35 Pickup Tool & Battery Box
Regarding Dearborn Blue for the 35 PU. The pictures are what I believe are the original paint on my 35 and the PPG single stage Dearborn Blue we painted it with. I like the Dearborn Blue as you get two different colors, Black in the shade and Blue in the sunlight, with one paint job.
You gotta be a Maine Yankee to appreciate them savings !

Re: 35 Pickup Tool & Battery Box
We actually took out what I believe was the original metal floor that was riveted and made repairs to it. Had to to replace the wood. took out the metal frame work under the wood so it could be sand blasted, repaired and painted well.

Re: 35 Pickup Tool & Battery Box
Thanks, my metal pan was not in as good of condition as I originally thought after removing it. Still debating on which way to go with it.

Re: 35 Pickup Tool & Battery Box
He had the pan sprayed with black line x body liner. One thought was to just put the wood back with the metal strips and spray body liner over that just on bed floor. The look would be very similar I believe. They can spray that at 1/16th thick. Probably would have been a ton less work.

Re: 35 Pickup Tool & Battery Box
Back when we did shows, I had a sign in the window, the "color of this truck is black and blue, if you touch it you will be too ! Got lots of laughs with that
