    Hi,

    Here is one of my paint cards. I did not paint my car original colors but this card is the orginal paint color next to the car.

    Funny story. Funny now! Last week the mechanic called me and said there is a problem. The engine is locked up. The engine re builder and mechanic got together to see the problem.

    Well, when it was being worked on, the car slipped into gear and engine ofcourse would not turn. They both laughed and beat themselves in the head. They were panicing. :)

    Dave: The body is still off the frame. Engine with be started on frame only. Guess those secret colors will just have to wait a bit longer. :) hehehhe evil laugh. :)

    Jak,

    It’s -15 in Minnesota. What is the weather there? My Chromer has gone Mia for the past three weeks. Starting to worrie. We just need the water jacket from him and I believe the starting party is very close behind.

    Lololo

    I was thinking more in the lines of great balls of Fire. Lolo. Jak, I agree, it’s fun to poke the bear with a stick some times. ;)

    I must confess, I am not looking forward to keeping those bad boys clean. There is always a cost for vanity. Lolol

    Jak,

    I don’t necessisarily disagree with your logic, but I must dissent on your conclusion.

    If you place the pieces together, although drastically different, the right pieces and colors will flow together like the different instruments in a symphony. If in sycn, the result is beautiful and unshakeable. In my case, unshakeable, understated elegance :)

    No harm no foul everyone else has their right to their opinions. :) Rick

    Hi Ed,

    I have no idea if original or repro. It appears to be a beautiful original. The leather is thick, the ditching is x3 and the chase tags are wonderful.

    The only problem I see is it is almost perfect condition. Strange how wonderful makes one suspect awful. Lolo

    Let me know what you think

    in reply to: Die convertible top material to match paint? #401232

    Lolololol

    No worries Dave. I have not spent a ton to impress Ringling bros. ;). I’m shooting for understated elegance. Here is my personal preference. I prefer the top to match the base color of the car. It looks good when the top contrasts, but if you can get an exact/close color match to the base color, I think it looks phenominal.

    I’m still keeping the color a secret, but I am down to a choice of two. Both have the same top color problem. They are not close enough for me.

    I promise you all, no metallic and no circus colors. ;)

    Hi

    I was lucky enough to find an all leather lap robe with the original ” pierce “” label still seen in the corner. I do not have a lot of experience with the robes but have never seen another leather one. Are they much rarer than the fabric ones?”

    Greg,

    NO, noone has missed the starting party. There have been a few delays. ( I know, shocking!) The long cover that looks like a giant valve cover, other side, is still at the chromers. Secondly, the carburator was sent out to a specialist that put is through a number of special tests and diping to make sure it was good to go. It recieved a passing mark.

    If people would like to know the exact process the carb went through, I can find out. Alot of what looked like cracks were actually casting marks.

    I guess the dipping and machine that examined it determines the integrety of the metal. They did have to clean out a jet. Someone put cylicone in the carb sometime in its life.

    Hopefully, the starting party will be within a month. Fingers crossed!

    P.s. Fat white walls all day long. ;). Everyone in the shop is battling black wall and white wall. It’s funny that issue really gets people going.
