A whole month?? Wow!!

I'm not really sure what's going on. I've been out of the loop as of late. We'll have to check... maybe we can just get together for the helluvit...

Travel this year has been brutal (except for the time in Spain

). We should try to get something going. I'll let you know if I hear of any thing.
PS bought another project. 1941 Chevy 5 window coupe.

I'm so excited!!!! I was there when we dropped off the truck a few weeks ago but I haven't been there for all the painstaking labor. I am not even sure of the final color yet but the grin on my face keeps getting bigger and bigger with every new pic. I think I am gonna die from the growing anticipation!!!! i never thought the day would get here! Thank you Babe for all your hard work and all the attention to detail!!!!! I am such a lucky gal!!!!

Thanks to Abe 'Mr. President' for all the hard work.

Thank you 65PanelRat for helping out as well.

It was a really busy weekend.... Abe worked his butt off!! Did some bodywork on Friday and Saturday, she was in primer on Saturday evening. Then on Sunday we did some blocking, fine tuning, cleaning, masking and then the fun finally started.

Here's the proud owner working away...

This is at about 8pm on Sunday night. The paper is off...

Abraham used Dupont Nason base/clear. The color is 2007 Chevy HHR "Golden Teal Metallic". The color is very irridescent, very "pearly". We can't wait to see it in the sun... Thanks a million Mr. President for all your hard work. We are more than pleased... and HAPPY!!!!
