Would you (any of you) have a full-size ad, or full size scan, so I can get
the paint scheme as close as possible? Does anybody have any other pictures
of the car in the ad?

What's the matter with the camo paint scheme?  That what I'm going to do
mine in.  BTW, I've got a copy of the add at

Ummmm, Greg, have you talked to the little lady about sending her out in
a camo Spitfire yet?

;^)

You might want to!

-Seriously, why not just do a quick "regular" paint job?  Get out the
power sander, sand that baby down, tape it up, a couple of coats of
primer/surfacer, wet sand and shoot color.  Two full days if you're not
*that* concerned about it looking perfect...   Think about it!  I'm sure
that there are a bunch of listers (myself included) who could offer info
and support.

regards,

John
