In Reply to: 1946 Dodge PW Red vs today's Flame Red? posted by Will (in IL) [98.215.26.138] on Monday, February 08, 2010 at 14:47:05 :
Will, I think I replied to another of your posts about a week ago regarding the defroster ducts. Sorry....been hit so hard with snow here on the coast that everything, including work, ground to a standstill and now it is snowing again...haven't been able get to the garage where I store the parts from my own restoration to find the vents yet. Ebay has gotten a bit out of control, guys wanting $100 for those, if I can find them I'll just give them to you so long as you pay the shipping. With regards to the color red, my PW is a 1946 and originally red. I don't know what flame red is, however via paint matching and also using the old paint charts we were able to match it pretty close to the original (should actually be an identical match). You can view my truck at http://imageevent.com/virginiapowerwagon/1946dodgepowerwagon/november2009images
if you like the color, when I finally get to the garage I can send you the modern paint codes, manufacturer, etc. that I used.
