That is true.. I know the original color looks like a metallic rootbeer brown. I'll have to check out the paint code tomorrow. The last owner was a guy that cnc'd vortech superchargers in the mid to late 90's in Cali. I'm thinking it's just stickers though.Well, we can find out if you want to. I am friends with Robert Landy, Dick's son on Facebook. Talk to him all the time. He is super cool. Might remember something about it. Who knows? Might have been "just stickers" but you never know.
