                                            ORGANISOL TAILLIGHT PANEL?
I don't know if I spelled organisol correctly but that it what the taillight panels were originally painted with on the Daytonas. One of the first things Troy did before he started assembling the Daytona was to paint the taillight panel with the correct organisol paint. This post only has one picture and that is of the freshly painted taillight panel. There are a lot of Daytonas that have incorrect paint on the taillight panel. Mostly because of the difficulties in trying to keep the taillight panel clean with this type of paint! This is the last picture for today!
