The second two are without the shim and the paint gets destroyed
If you dont mind me asking, what color code did you use for that paint? Ive been hunting forever trying to find it. It looks good.
Heres my R-110 Cummins Swap, with the incorrect orange on the cab.
I found the code on the main site index of this website
1954 Valencia orange
Gm:WE5502

Hey Doogybot, pardon the curiosity but in your pictures I noticed 3 holes just above and outboard of each headlight. The holes are symmetrical on either side. Can you tell me what they're for?

I got the paint mixed at endura paints in Edmonton Alberta.
I was told it's the same type of paint that they used back in the day. A rubberized compound
