    Junior told me that he couldn't afford to paint his car (the first time) with lacquer. This pic with Sam is the car in "old line enamel". Fortunately, I'm old enough to know how both these coatings work, and I didn't ask him how he reshot the car in lacquer. usually IMG_0547 (1).jpg a nightmare as the lacquer "eats up" the uncured enamel. Remember this is the famous "house brand" Sam Bronze.
    Sorry for the pic quality.

    I would say that’s about right.

    The Jalopy Auction House was going to be my suggestion also but I just clicked on there & seems it's gone. @Ryan

    IMG_0682.jpg I could have done this without Dan, but I'm sure glad I didn't.

    Hey guys, Mom has maneuvered me into another cruise, this time with some of her family members. We will be back at the end of the month. I'll check in then.

    Well, we're back from the "cruise", all is well. I need to introduce a new member of the family. I always wanted a '40 Coupe, and now I finally have one.
    The only type that I was interested in was the one that looked stock from a distance where you walked up to an old and got into a "new" one and drove off. This fits the "bill". /ATTACH] IMG_0719.jpg IMG_0712.jpg IMG_0713.jpg
