Ron,
Lt Teal Blue Poly For OEM GM 22L82 It also has a PPG number which I
can seem to find now.
Others may have more info. I was locked into this color since this is
what was on the car when purchased.
Hope this helps. If you have a buddy nearby with a straight frame and
engine out I would try to make a jig
with 8 threaded holes or captive nuts for realignment. The chassis
guides in the rear of manuals have measurements
that may be of value if your stripped to the frame.
