The original trim is on the left, while the newly refinished trim is on the right from the King of Trim. The match was much much closer and I was very happy to have spent the additional money.

Did King of Trim anodize the trim or did they paint the trim?

They anodized it. I could have had the restoration shop paint it. I felt anodizing was the smart and correct choice.

Amazing story and photos. It's great that you were willing and able to do this.
I really like the color.

I've never seen a rear fog light on both sides. Very cool.

Man, that is the kind of restoration that Tim Goodrich used to do in the 1990s with 356s. Every bolt and nut. Amazing.
