That's a beautiful paint job on that cowl as well

[@OutBoardTink62]

Thankyou,yes I painted that cover with single stage PPG enamel color matched from a original piece at a body shop supply house back then. I think the Holiday Bronze match is very good. The Warm White was from a rattle can Tempo Laquer wet sanded and buffed. Motor and cover has been indoors for 25+ years in its favor for staying nice. Thanks for commenting Don as always Stay Tuned!....
