If that overflow tank on ebay was grey, then Im turning to fords

That is as GREEN as olive drab green can get???

Had no idea this topic would be so frustrating??

Hope the vcca judges are following this one....

Sorry fleetmaster47 I did not want to get you frustrated over this.This is a good lesson that if you have a part or accessory on your car and are having it judged have proof with you that it is correct (that it was put on by Chev. or installed by the Chev dealer and is correct for the year the car was manufactored). I have sat thru many judging seminars and this is typical of the discussions you will hear over details.
as far as the color of the eBay tank the vendor told me it was gray when I called him.The center picture did look green on my screen but the entire picture had a green cast to it. Maybe we will meet at Iola this week ...There used to be items like this for sale up but they have become hard to find these days . Remember we may disagree on things but we are all in this hobby to enjoy it this can be typical of discussions that may take place at gatherins but eveyone still departs as friends.

The judges are watching!!!! you six cylinder guys are starting to sound like Vette guys :p But I like it!!! It is good to see research like this being done. Being a V-8 era guy, I am sure there was more than one supplier, so color variation is possible, isn't it :confused: What ever the color is that is used it is the owners job to prove it

Hey chev nut. Didnt mean to sound negitive.
In fact its about time we get some good discussion on this fourm. we will be leaving for IOLA EARLY friday morning. We always go the full 3 days. got a hotel in appleton for the week end. CANT WAIT !!!!!!!!!!!

Being so so close to each other we should meet up sometime...........

Well you know we have met many times I am the old part time tool man that stops at Gordie Boucher.
At least we agree on which cars are best.Still waiting to see your 47.Have a good time at Iola-I will be going up on thursday so hope to get the good things before you--if there are any.

so thats who you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember you now. How are you doing???

I must admitt I dont miss working at boucher.

Just some of the people. You will have to say hello to Eddie, and Dale for me next time you see them. Hope you have a good time at iola, and hope to bump into you there.........

My first ever AWARD to a threaded discussion!!!! This was outstanding... I hope someone here prints this out and saves it to their scrapbook for future judging discussions.

In recognition, I have created a unique, one-of-a-kind picture which symbolizes your walk through the cornfields while reaching for the stars !!! :love: :cool2:

Signed copies will be available for a small handling fee. - not!

Again, an outstanding discussion which stayed true to the original query and used a lot of sluthing to get to the salient points of the answer!! Congrats to all who participated!!!!

Well I"m glad it was a happy ending to a long story. Fleet47,Guess what I found at Iola today?Two tanks--one gray and one green....opps then the alarm went off and it was just a dream
did bring some goodies home and will be back on Fri. for more.Only about 60% of the vendors were there today.
