It blends in with all the earth moving machinery but It's a late model Toyota colour. Since I chose it there seems to be yellow cars everywhere.

They attract more bugs too.

My favourite was Ford "Yellow Blaze'. One thing with yellow it is high on the list of "safe colours" for highway visibility

Great to see the progress 37fordpu, I like the yellow, as Frank said Yellow Blaze is a favourite colour, I had a XB GS in that colour,
should never have sold that car, but like most of us marriage, mortgage, kids and lack of foresight get in the way.

Back from the painter now all I have to do is remember how everything fits

Great to see it all painted.
You will be like me maybe and look at photos to remember exactly how things went. Usually the minor small stuff.

Great colour!

Were a family of yellow cars.

I look forward to following along with the final reassembly.

Ditto. Bought mine about 1975. Sold it in 1978 when fuel was getting expensive. Those were the days!

Yeah. I've changed my signature. The old one was out of date...
