I remember that....the Italian dude rips off his rear view mirror and says "What's behind me, I don't care"....

He wouldn't need to see me, he'd hear me coming. :drive:

Ok, we to take another look at that movie and get that quote correct. This is important. :smack:

It appears you have a few more functioning brain cells than I. I stand corrected. Got to see that movie again.

Barney Donahue: You know how often my wife tried to get me to get rid of this car? Well that's German machinery for you. The car outlasted her.

Ces't fini! Just need to go over it with glazing putty to fill the pot holes and then you know... paint it.

Are you painting it?

Weren't you the one who acknowledged that good prep work can take hundreds of hours? I've worked on the car every day this week. I worked today all day till it got dark. If you want to help speed up the process and feel like being itchy for two days, cruise on over and I'll hand you some sandpaper. :D

Yes I did say that. I did offer to help you early on (when I recommended using a air powered random orbital). And what I meant was: "Are YOU painting it?" Not "Are you painting it (now)?"

Reason:
I expect you're doing a very good job. If you can do it all yourself and if you're interested, I may be interested in hiring you to do mine or help me do mine as you will have great experience.

Jeesh you're sensitive.:nutkick:

Sorry. I really want to go on the moonlight run, and I still have a lot of work left to do. I'm touchy. I suppose I could go before the paint, but it would suck to be on the freeway for that long with no weatherstripping.

I understand. Earplugs might work for you in that case. :huh: Seriously, they'll cut out a lot of the hi-freq stuff and leave most of the massive rumble alone. You can also roll with any number of us. And oh yeah, I promise this is just the beginning of (hopefully) creative runs, cruises and events.
