Bob,that's exactly what I was thinking since I've seen correctly restored DeLuxe GB's body color there. So since I have the formula for the gray the engine compartment will get the same color. Remember if you run across any accessories for FC's or even a nice driver quality FC let me know. Sorry I missed that underseat drawer. Ed Dade City,Fl
