Thanks Eagle,that will help with the color.I`m using a book written by Buzz Rose,that shows the car at several tracks during the 1960 season,but all the photos are black&white.The book title is Kings of the Hills ,and if you like sprint cars you would like this book.Thanks again for your help. Jim

I've seen some color pictures of the car in the garage. Obviously the lighting isn't the greatest. Blue is one of those colors that varies so much in photos that you might be better served using the GMP model as a reference.

Thanks cttopa,the GMP model gives me the blue color I was looking for,but the car I`m building is patterned off of the car as it was raced during the 1960 season.The number then was 51.Thanks for your help,and I think I can now come alot closer to getting this car finished.

The 51 might actually be darker...Head over to the HAMB on jalopyjournal.com and search for the 1969 and earlier sprint car thread. Those guys know eeeverything.
