Just a minor technicality / indiscretion
and one should have known better that it is a "trunk / deck" lid 
.I better not make mention then that I was asking someone in the States if they had a Bonnet for 62 and that there was a long period of silence on the phone until I realized that it was a hood
Ahhhh, the joys of.

things are progressing and starting to come together.
Now only have 2 new door skins to be made and panel work is complete. this will now be in the new year.
Firewall, door jams and around the trunk (boot area
) will be painted before xmas and then i will be able to put motor and box in after xmas.

Lookin good Gav...
Aiming for the firewall, dash, door jams & boot (trunk) area to be painted before Xmas and then will come home and will put motor & box in.
A couple of questions.
1) Is the firewall generally painted the same colour as the body for this year and would it be a matt finish? Colour is Tuxedo Black
2) What shade shade should the dash be painted and is it the same colour as the body? I believe sheen is probably a Matt / semi gloss
3) is the steering column the same colour as the dash?
4) anyone have a modern day paint code for Tuxedo Black?
Thanks all

Firewall is the same shade and color as the body color ( no flat paint on firewall)
The firewall on all 62’s was painted with flat paint( no gloss or semi gloss)
The steering column shade of paint is the same flat color as the dash( the steering wheel is gloss black)
i have the old GM interior paint codes for the dash ( not sure they can be converted to a modern day paint code

Paul ,read the two top sentence about firewall color????
Error my 2nd sentence - firewall does not have flat paint - all 1961 &1962 firewalls were body color with body color paint
1963 Chevys switched to black firewalls in early 1963
awesome, thanks Paul.
With the help of a talented bunch of forum guru's who are willing to pass on their expertise and relinquish some of their long held cherished, hard to find parts. Then things are a little easier.Looking good Gav!I don’t see how you guys deal with finding parts where you live?
Then it's the reliance on some talented metal work guys and good friends to call upon when a hand is needed, this all helps.
