Sorry for not updating this thread for a while.
I was still stripping the car and now I will let you know.
I built a hoist in my garage to lift the body and separate it from the chassis:
Then I put apart the body and decided to concentrate my effort to the frame:
[size=1][/size]
Several rivets were replaced by nuts and bolts (of different sizes and types) so I was able to dismantle the chassis deeper:
in order to have it carefully paint stripped.
In the meaning, I started to investigate about any possibilities to find traces af the original colour of the car.
The body colour has probably been a sort of primerose:
And under the wings I found a sort of cherry red:
Same colour on the door contour:
So, according to the period Arrow adverts, the car was probably finished in two tone cream and dark red:
Unfortunately there is not much more period literature about Arrow 65 competition, so I am just guessing...
