What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

You probably drove the wheels off your car back then! From the picture, it looks like a fun daily driver.

Mine is good 10 footer! But the longer I wait, the distance will grow, lol. It was painted by the prior owners' uncle in 1981. But always garage kept.

Its a double edged sword, I guess. We want our cars to look good. Heck, I even seem to feel better being in a spotless car. But then we tend to drive less cause we don't want to have to park it somewhere for fear of theft or damage. We know the time, effort and money invested to make them nice. There are a lot of Yahoo's out there that can't be trusted for sure!!

For me, it just got where it was time. My car was originally purple,than repainted silver in the 80s,and I had rattlecan primer over the silver which was so faded it looked like primer. I took the car down to bare metal, cut out the rust and repaired .Am just now finalizing body for paint. But its been ten years like you said. Its alot to take a car down to a shell and put it back together. But you are right I will be cautious driving it. I say I will have plenty of power but baby it like an old man.:)
