He is no longer with Dupont. Finished his career there a few months back. He is currently in China.

I will be judging with him next weekend at the Boss Nationals in Port Macquarie.

Dont get too wound up that it has to be Dupont. The colour was originaly formulated by them as a Kenworth Fleet colour. All the major paint companys have a formula for it.

Rick, if you are going to replace the sheetmetal then do this first mate. You know I am in the same boat as you when it comes to the mexican paint job and I am going to strip it and start again. Yes the money side of it is a bitch but it will come out on top once it is finished. Easier said then done mate I know but it will work out the cheapest way. Sheetmetal then paint brother. It is the only way to go. In my case mate once the paint is done it will be in my garage for atleast a year because of zero funds. But it will be solid as a rock and I still own a mustang.

Stay cool man!
