1955 Ford Panel Truck - Part 03

In this video I'm still in the brainstorming stage but have made some decisions.
The engine is mostly built and awaiting some after market parts. I decided
the color scheme for the body. It will be either two tone or tri-tone with
the bottom, side doors, fenders and hood in Tamiya X-3 Royal Blue and the
top of the sides, where the business lettering will be, in an off white,
either a Vallejo 71.119 White Gray or 71.279 Insignia White. The bumpers
and side mirrors will be in an 71.270 off-white RAL9001 Weiss. I'm thinking
maybe the wheels will also be in off-white; however, I'm leaning toward brushed
aluminum. I will also be doing the engine valve covers in brushed aluminum.

The engine is a Mopar Hemi. It's hard, if no impossible to find an acrylic
model paint for Chrysler Engine Red. I mixed one that I felt is close to
what I remember my 1966 225 Slant Six looked like. I used:

20 parts Tamiya X-6 Orange : 8 parts Tamiya X-7 Red (20:8) or (10:4) or (2.5:1)
