: Oops...Just looked up the old thread on
: CT forum. Frames all arrived in black
: initially but the exposed section
: forward of the firewall got painted
: same as bodycolor as the body was mated

: before body was set. HTH's

: Yo Mark,
:
: We had a big discussion on the frame
: color about this time last year. On
: another forum. Concensus was that the
: early frames were all black and only
: later did the frame become body color.
: I'm vaguely remembering the change over
: being about 71???
: It was either on the Club Triumph Forum
: or DaveSideways tuning forum.
