	WHAT, The Floreatine Pale Yellow didn't make the cut for the paint color. . Nice job on the body work. The temp paint booth looks neat. Do the two fans have filters behind them and I assume that is the exhaust side. Do you draw fresh air from the back windows. Thanks for posting pics too. Getting ready to install my door hardware and pic's help. Now I have to get in gear and get my front axle back underneath .

	Thanks Trenton. I’m a self proclaimed idiot on this one. Not sure why I worked this hard on it. It’s for my wife…and she is going to beat the crap out of it anyway. Birddog, I knew you’d be bummed. Quite honestly, the PPG numbers of these two yellows are very close. Florentine- 82737 Phoenician- 81444 Side by side, I couldn’t really see a difference…but Rachel did. It looks like PPG yellow shades get darker as the number gets larger, so Phoenician is probably a little more pale. The photo of my paint booth is from the first Willys. I did install filters behind the fans, and drew in fresh air from the back window in my garage. It had filters on the back wall also. This next temp paint booth is getting some upgrades. I picked up a 24” barrel fan that moves up to 4200 cubic feet per minute. The new booth will also be larger. 12’ x 12’. The old one was 8’x10’…just barely large enough for the tub and some walking space. The fan should be able to replace all the air in about 15 seconds. If too much, the fan can be turned down to 2800 cfm. I’ll take a photo when I get it set up. Thanks again everyone. I really do appreciate the nice feedback. Critical feedback works too. Any suggestions will always be received with open arms. Hawk

	Well, UPS lost my paint. Tracking says it made it to UPS distribution center in Coloradol It sat there for 4 days... then disappeared. Who wants to bet that part of the floor at the UPS facility is now Phoenician Yellow?

	Or the inside of a UPS truck is Phoenician yellow. I was at O'Rielys and a FedEx truck was buying oil dry to spread in his truck to soak up 4 gallons of paint that fell off the top shelve. It was everywhere.

	Well, still don't have my paint. It's probably a good thing. I went ahead and assembled Whitey to double check, mock up, finalize fitment. I did run into a few minor snags. Reproduction hood needed some tweaks. Fender mounts required some adjustments. Still need to adjust the reproduction clutch and brake pedal arms, but all in all, Whitey sits pretty nice when considering what I started with. I built a boom arm for my tractor. Makes installing the tub a breeze...

	Did you actually drill a series of holes in your tractor bucket for the sole purpose of making a Willys tub install less of a chore? I absolutely approve.

	Hawk, I am thoroughly impressed with the amount of engineering going on in just one of your pictures. A functionally designed and fabricated boom attachment for your tractor, lifting a beautifully restored tub on to a well engineered folding table riding on an 8 wheel drive multi-directional articulating base. And an upgraded paint booth! Very impressive!

	Thanks! I think I’m like all you Willys guys. We seem to think like old farmers and ranchers. We figure out ways to solves problems with just the junk we have piled around.

	Tub is finally painted. The paint finish is a little more complex than a 68 year old vehicle deserves, but all in all, it turned out pretty decent. The goal was to have a "Happy Willys". This color should fit that requirement.

	The color is more subdued than I was expecting. Gotta see it in the daylite. The wheels will really set it off. Nice work Hawky!!
