if you guys could find out who supplied your MOD with paint you could go direct... reason i say is they will also have all the old colours on file... Cromadex here in the UK have all the colours for ww2 period. just dont go 100% matt (like the new vehicles have) as it absorbs water really badly..... eggshell or 10% from my research is the correct sheen ...

Well this week was another good week for getting some more painting done on most of the suspension and differential. It was a low as the last rear swing arm I was dismantling is totally seized on the pin and I can't get it out
 . I tried heating it up and putting it in the press with no luck what so ever. I tried hammering it with a large sludge hammer and a punch for a hour and again no luck. after realizing I don't think I will ever get it apart I was lucky to have another rear swing arm that I was able to strip down and remove the pin (Again I had to use the press and heat to get it out, but it did). The bad was that the pin is in very poor shape and I will have to see what I can do to make a new one (unless a nice fellow member out there might have a spare one  ) as the other 3 I removed are in great shape. Also what has other members done about the bushing (for the better lack of word for it) that the end of the spring ball shaped retainer goes into as I have a couple that have nothing at all left of them ???

Dave,I've got a couple cups with no fiber left in them as well.I am going to try a few layers of fiberglass.I don't think there is a lot of movement between the spring end ball and the cup,so it should hold up.
