cheers,
Reijer
Hey Reijer thanks. The color of the car is supposed to be Bermuda blue. But when I took it for paint the shop could not find the mixture specs for the paint code. So they just used some machine that they put against my car that took a picture of the paint and put it in some special computer that gave them all the info. It was a pretty cool tool. So to really answer your question I'm not sure. :lol:

I also went with polished billet wheels instead of chrome since I live in Hawaii and am surrounded by salt water.

Here are some pictures of the inside of my car like you asked for .

Thanks again.
Pierre

Thanks for posting. The interior looks nice. I love leather with a little patina. Are you keeping it this way?

when you had the door panel sprayed, were you by chance given the color formua for future use? That looks like interior code 82 (medium blue metallic) and I'd love to get the color-match info for that.

It looks great.

Hey Ken your right my interior is code 82. Here is a picture of the label off one of the cans I had made. Its not Lincoln specific but it matched good enough for me.
They told me if I needed more to use the number on the top left . Hope this helps.

Update

Post by Coconut-kid »

Just wanted to add a couple of shots of my new Mooneyes valve covers I finally got a chance to put on.
Now to start re-painting other parts of my motor so it looks half way decent to match the outside of my car.

Man, what a difference those wheels and air bags did for the look of your car, It makes it look 3 feet longer. Nice Job.
I also really like that color.

Congrats on the new baby.

Nothing says "ghetto" more than those awful over-sized wheels, IMO. At least they can be
switched back to something "normal".

Your '62 is much too nice to ruin it by "bagging" it. This from a 29-year owner of a '62.

Everyone has there opinions, I personally like big wheels and the wide white snowballs. Its personal choice. Jerry why didn't you just say "N-word" Isn't that what you meant? Also, 99% of car guys would agree that the right stance on a car can "make" a car. You can static drop your car a little and keep it drivable, or go with bags to have the drivabilty and then drop it for show. Most of these cars would end up in the junk yard if it wasn't for customizors bringing them back from the dead, bagging them and adding those "n-word" "awful" right sized wheels. You are always negative to the customs, maybe you could think more positive. I bet you have never taken a sawsall to anything. I cannot name off the top of my head a single famous "restorer" but I can come up with dozens of customizers, Foose, Troy T., Barris, Poises, Roth, etc. etc. If your into stock, great, customs, great, the point is we are into it. The LC enthusiast is a small group and I believe we need to embrace everybody. Its not like we are working on a Mustang or camaro where you can order an entire body and every other part out of a catalog. These cars take a special dedication that most people don't understand. (I am sure you do if you have owned one for 29 years.)

Dan, That was kind-of my point. Calling someones car "Ghetto" is the same thing. Different words, same meaning.

Nice car and I'm glad to see you're showing so much personal interest in sprucing it up. Btw the front grille assembly on your car is from 1963, not '62.
