Re: Grey Paint

Hey Mike,

Are you going to have a party when your car is finished? And will we
all be invited? If so I'll bring the keg! :-)

I look forward to seeing pics of your car when its finished. I'm
starting to realize the amount of time and effort that goes into even
minor restoration, never mind a total top to bottom resto.

In any event, almost the entire interior of my car is stripped out
and will be ready for new carpet and painting once it warms up (if
ever).

Cass
