What is a good match for Jody Ridley's Stacy car? The slixx sheet lists a metallic blue, but I don't remember Junie's cars being a metallic shade.
Thanks in advance. |

Maybe Tom Mooty will have a definitive answ ... |

Leave it alone Dave, it's a time capsule from back in the day. The effort you went to make it shows how dedicated you were in making it.
No laughing from me, go ahead and put in a display case. |
