    Well almost. Last night I was a sprayin fool. It started yesterday with a coat of primer on the Dirty Little Princess's 64 Suburban. After that was gone we did all the suspension parts for Larry's and the 999. With no room in the shop we hung those parts in Larrys trailer to dry. (No the trailer's not for his car, it's for Jukeboxes) My wife, Larry and I finished the sanding up about midnight and by 4 they were done.

    Yes they are both shiney. We tried to pick colors that looked like they were from the 40's. The 999 is a dark purple and Larry's is a nice dark blue.

    Bodywork isn't perfect on either car but we didn't want them perfect. You can tell right away that Larry's is a real 32 roadster. There is a few small dents, a crack or two and a few bad welds from back in the day.

    Now we just have to get them together by the weekend.
