Finally saw part of the car painted!!

Daniel and I went to the body shop on Friday; the underside of the hood and trunk lid had received their first coat of Ocean Turquoise... and looked great!

Our forecast for this week calls for some fairly good weather days so I'm hoping that the paint will finally get going in a few days!

Pictures tomorrow...

This is a very exciting time, I remember my first full paint job on my 57 ford pick-up when I was in highschool 1967, chestnut, (in between red and maroon) with dark tinted windows, Back then it was put on in liquid form. Man I'm getting old!

FINALLY HOME!

we're busy this weekend thrashing on Daniel's Merc! will post some pics hopefully this weekend. Working on everything at once... installing all the trim, windows, bumpers, etc, etc...

oh yeah, and trying to get it running again! Fired right up last night but had a carb leak right away, so its off with the carb and spacer under it and new gaskets and then further tuning.

His plans were to drive it back to college tomorrow, but it just will not be quite ready. Too bad..., now Dad will have some fun wrenching on it while son is hitting the books after Spring Break. What a pleasure to share the same passion/hobby with my son!

and thanks to all who have shared this journey with us and offered kind words of support!
