Make that 138375Z104297, Pete. Amazed that there's such a thing as an Evening Orchid registry! Where did they come up with that thermostat housing??? I think I prefer it with the Cragars and blackwalls as seen in the registry photos....wonder if they're included with the sale?

My friend’s 65 has been in paint jail so long it’s been moved to solitary confinement. I even put it in for Garage Squad. Every time it comes up the talk turns to:
“Your kid was in second grade when he tore it apart”.
“Nope, he wasn’t even born and now’s he’s off to college.”

I've been in body shop prison before, but never that long. I hope he get's it finished in his lifetime, LOL. Bill

Bah!

Been there, when I had the body off my Chevelle.

I thought "this car has been apart longer than my youngest has been alive".

Cleared my calendar and got the thing put back together!

I should post the pictures of the discarded Z16 body that Wayne gave me on a 4WD frame to drive people crazy.

“Waiting for the wife to decide on the interior color “. Her answer is not fit for print.

Yes, even whitewalls would look better than those gold stripes
