[Spridgets] License plate light, early cars

[Rick Bastedo]

It's primer gray now.
It will look great in body color, whatever that ends up being.
Interesting tidbit:
My Mk1 Midget parts car was originally Clipper Blue or Ice Blue (whatever
the difference is).
I think it's Clipper Blue but SWMBO says she thinks it's Ice Blue.
Since I've sanded through some layers on the white Bugeye bonnet sitting on
my Midget I've found the original color is the same.
So I've now got parts from two different early cars on my Midget that were
originally that color.
And I like that color too.
Hmmm... Maybe that will be the color for the whole car?
