No good deed goes unpunished, Back on the road & drives nice! Options

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I loaned the Red Car to sww914 while he's waiting for parts for his boat, and he & and older "gentleman" tried to mate fenders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Steve is taking care of everything, but he's having a hard time finding an early chrome bumper (the one on the car is one of the ones done by bdstone not too long ago), so if anyone has one, please let me know. Otherwise we'll send mine out to be straightened & re-chromed.

I'm doing my best not to get upset over it, accidents happen, and there's not too much we can do about them. The up-side, is that some of the rust is going to be dealt with (Steve is going above & beyond on that, which is most appreciated), and since they're going to have to do some painting anyway, if I can afford it, I'll get the other rust bubbles dealt with at the same time.

Steve said he's going to take some pics, so maybe he'll post them here.

Thanks guys.

Mark: Steve is doing the best that he can. My only complaint is about communication, or lack thereof. Accidents happen, there's nothing we can do but accept them & move on. We remain friends & I wish him and his family the best.

Travis: I saw a pic years ago of a prototype that was this color (Metallic Red) and fell in love with it. It turns out this was the original color of Dad's Car, so in honor of him, I painted mine this color. Even tho it's a 72, I backdated the bumpers to 1970, because I like the look, and it's a 1970 only color, so it fits.
