Hiawatha is going to be an issue. Not one of the more popular collectible brands.

I did the following '56 7.5 by matching the inner cowl to a very close Rustoleum. Or, have a local auto paint shop color match it. The inside of the cowl should not have been faded too bad.

nice hanging on the wall and does nothing else, as my wife says, PRETTY.
Seeing old rusty junk come alive like a rising Phoenix is a satisfying feeling.

The problem is too many toys and not enough time.

Fortunately, I have 2 old classic boats that provide a platform to run engines. That way, they can all be rotated. In the interim, after using up all the old classic stands, the wall provides for added storage.
