[Mgs] Time to choose a paint color

[Charley & Peggy Robinson]

My '69 B Tourer is essentially royal blue.  I live it the TX hill 
country, lots of farm and ranch roads to explore.  Lots of farmers and 
ranchers who just don't see my B, too.  Color doesn't seem to matter. I 
always run with the headlights on rain or shine.
