A few years ago at a veteran's business conference near Shelter Island.


The 60HP beast under the hood.


Same veteran's conference, but in front of the San Diego Air & Space Museum in Balboa Park.

It is a custom mix. Wink    

I thought from their website that Kustom Shop "Hot Rod Flatz" Urethane in "Desert Storm Tan" would look good on my '51 CJ3A project (now dormant)    After spraying some as test though,  it was lighter than I was expecting,  so I ordered some "Camo Brown" and mixed in.   I started with 25%,  but added more (I don't remember the amount offhand) That was 4-5 years ago.    (I think I have it written down somewhere.

It might be around 3:1    Tan:Brown

It is tough paint,  can't scratch with fingernail.  

Hope that helps.

For reference this photo was taken day after I mounted the tires:

Ok, I'll jump in.  I don't have any glamor shots of Grasshopper - too busy having fun - have to put that on my "to do list".  This is as glamorous as I've got.Smile

My avitar is from 2019 when it was all stock.  Since then I've added disk brakes all around, new suspension and taller tires for better ground clearance, lockers in both axles, jpet's X98 lower transfer case gears, and made a bikini top and 1/2 cab.  Plus lots of smaller mods and maintenance.  Here's a picture of Grasshopper before a camping trip last November.


Doesn't look all that different but all those mods make Grasshopper a lot more capable of doing fun stuff like this!

Last time I had it out in the fall of 2020, with the '45 bantam.
I wish people would quit hittin' me on the head. MQ
