| I got the car uncovered today. Sticker is dead on it, so I didnt drive it anywhere.
Have you took your ride out and got it ready for summer yet? | |

| Scott, your sill alive! I have finished installing the shocks I ordered in Oct, of course one thing leads to another. Had to install a new front spring as the old one sagged so bad the shocks bottomed out. I wanted to respray some of small parts on the car, one area is part of the hood and the driver's window frame arm rest, I could never find any one that could match the paint correctly. I went to Randy Micheal's auto body which has done a couple of repairs in the past for me and he worked his magic with his paint camera and came up with a very good match. It was great that he would take time out in his busy day to help me and all I had to do was pay for the paint, if you need painting I don't think there are many that can swing a paint gun like he can.
Still got to lube everything(with a Model A there is a lot) and it will be ready for another summer, its funny but every winter the list of to do things grow but I guess that's what comes with owning an old car. Kind of a hate love relationship I guess.

| Next time you talk to him, ask what he would charge to paint a solstice. Glad to hear from you Dusty. | |

| Got the Buick out a couple weeks ago and put the chrome wheels back on, Mercedes has a new sticker, and the AMC is still in the body shop. | |
