Definitely coming along well. I like the looks of that radio myself for some reason. I think my friend has the matching tombestone style radio to that console he loves to listen to.
As far as the paint goes, it seems once the 50's hit, that people seemed to suddenly hate anything natural looking. It all had to suddenly be bright colored or at least super clean and sterile looking for some odd reason. They did the same with old buildings, bolting horrid looking steel facades over what were (and sometimes still are once the steel is pulled off) beautiful looking brick and stonework.

No matter where you go, there you are.
