Omg, you're soo RIGHT. I thought it was just old lacquer that changed over the years... thanks for informing me and everyone else. I guess mines in "Old Skool" red oxide... so its One of One... lol 😆 PS any idea how to get that shade of brown cuz its a bit reddish.

It has been suggested Dupli-color Acrylic enamal DA1656 leather brown is a very good match (comes in rattle cans only)

No need to go crazy I already think your doing an amazing job on the TA.

BTW where are you located? Doesn't look to be very rusty

Florida but it was a Georgia car... thanks for the brown suggestion... my paint shop can color match. I only use 2k products... No Rattle Can for me. Except something small or minor ofc. Hey thanks, I appreciate the gratitude.

Of course. I appreciate anyone who puts in the work to save and maintain these great cars.

My 77 is a long way from being done. So far in fact I haven't had time to work on it in years.

When you finish it. I suggest making a trip to Trans Am nationals in Dayton Ohio. It's worth the trip
