Ian, speaking of paint codes, isn't your Alpine donor body actually primed with DP90? DP40 is dark green. Either way, great base primer! Any car worth doing correctly should be base primed with PPG DP primer. I hope to see your base of operations next year if I can stay out of the "nut house" that long!

Yep... you are right. I've always had a bad habit of calling all DP primer DP40. I've been using the DP74 and DP90 most too!

Pictures?

Does anyone out there have a copy of the original pictures from the seller's back yard? I thought I had copies of the, but can't seem to find them. Thanks.

Is it Pippin or Pippen?
The Rootes dealer paint chip sheet lists it as Pippen red. Now the name apparently came from the type of apple in the UK. If one searches google, I get Pippen apples and Pippin apples. So is there a difference? Which Pippin/en spelling is correct?
(By the way, my PeeSea spell checker doesn't like the spelling of Pippen)

The difference is 159,900. Number of hits for Pippen Apples=28,100. Number of hits for Pippin Apples=188,000. Survey sez (ding) probably pippin. Usually, I'm more confident when the ratio is millions vs. tens of thousands.
