In the rebuild of your car, did you by chance find any obscure markings in =
yellow or white chinagraph chalk on the engine block? These were common ide=
ntifiers used at the factory that were understood by those who worked in en=
gine assembly =E2=80=93 but no-one else. Primarily, the mark was to disting=
uish the machined but unassembled block as being an ultimate engine for a N=
orth America spec car. Not all the blocks had these marks but I do know man=
y others have encountered them years later and wondered what the hell they =
were. Being anxious to replicate what had been there after re-painting the =
block, they replaced the code. I=E2=80=99d be very surprised if TRA or VTR =
have extra marks in their judging books =E2=80=93 or even deduct marks if t=
hey weren=E2=80=99t there.

 

Cheers, Jonmac

I have the TRA judging guide for the TR4 and have been using it as my plumb=
 line for the restoration going back to 2010 when I purchased the car.  The=
 trick is what to tell the auto paint store for a color to match that would=
 be acceptable to judges.  My goal isn=E2=80=99t to beat everyone in a conc=
ours but to faithfully recreate the car as it was born.  I am not intereste=
d in trophies.  Over the 8 years restoring this car, s I have sometimes fou=
nd it hard to get info from the expert judges and respected restorers of th=
ese cars. I=E2=80=99d love to know more specifics on the color and or sourc=
e that experts in TRA think correct.  Also, I heard Macy=E2=80=99s Garage h=
ad an early TR4at the last TRA event.  Does anyone have any detailed photos=
 of that car they could share.  The few I saw looked magnificent and they h=
ave such a great reputation.  

Thanks so much,

Judging guide Reference Should be TRA, my oversight. 

Bill

 


If y=E2=80=99all will allow one more =E2=80=9Cauthority=E2=80=9D to weigh i=
n, the VTR Judging Guidlines state, =E2=80=9CThe canister is painted ice bl=
ue (specific color unknown) which takes a pale green caste with age.=E2=80=
=9D

 

I=E2=80=99ll stick with my Valspar Peacock Blue.
