The "winners" in the classes all seemed to have just written some really big checks to buy their rides. Meh, the crowd and the kids really liked her and it was a fun way to not be at work. That was what really counted.

In the meanwhile, I have started in to the paint and bodywork side of things. She runs and drives, and while there are still mechanical things to do, I need to address the body before small rust issues start becoming big rust issues.'

I've started sanding off the six or so layers of paint that she currently has, and while I'm not fully focused on stripping everything to bare metal, I'd like to get back down to the original paint work before I start throwing primer.

I am going to take her back to the original turquoise green with a white roof.

This color really suits her.

Looking good! Turquoise green and white is going to be sweet! At least 40x better of a color combination than the factory medium bronze and white on my 70.
