I feel that the 1968 car started out either as an all red car with no roof, then went to the red/black roof (which in the pics actually looks like a vinyl roof..complete with a grain texture..vs. Tom's black paint), of course you can change first red/blk then to all red at this point until dated evidence comes in..

Something else to note...the black "vinyl" top on the red/black car was a *spray on* type vinyl top...that is why it has some texture to it, but it was still painted on...that info was straight from Dave Libby himself. So changing the overall paint scheme on the car wouldn't have been as simple as a "mask it & spray it" deal...I'm betting it would take some time to get the vinyl roof area smooth...

Sooo...any ideas on the tin-work and a functioning door?
