Hi to you all, I'm just about at the end of a year long rebuild and about at the paint stage. I have two problems, first can anyone help with a drawing of the rear bumper,springs ect as it was all put in a box (not labelled,big mistake,we learn by our mistakes !) and I just can't get it to fit and look right. Also we have no idea what the colour is !!!!! It was a very pale blue and we want the paint code to get the correct colour, if it helps the car is a Oct 1959 with light blue carpets door cards and seats, and it has a dark blue pin stripe. Hope you can help.
Thanks Russ.

Sure you are not trying to fit a front bumper - on the rear ? It really does just slide on to the two mountings. There is a paint colour chart at the top of the section.

As for colour....

Going on the basis of what you've said, the colour is likely to be Smoke Grey (dont get flummoxed by the name, its a light blue colour) the only other blue in late 59 was Clipper Blue and that was sold with a grey coach stripe
