Depends if they were painted before or after. :D

I have had ideas to use actual car paint urethane to see if it is any tougher than the nail polish. There are different grades of nail polish but the high grades come in either lacquer or enamel.

Revlon makes possibly the best enamel and Smith and cult makes a really good lacquer that you actually use a hardener with.

Mopar colors would be nice too like EV2, FC7, EF8, or even X9 :D
 
About 1988, tailpipe hanger broke, muffle banging and dragging.
Yes, I'm under the car with a bumper jack, I survived, don't make a habit of it.

Ok, I found some throwbacks I will share.

I had a VERY unlikely start to a mopar life. When I was a kid and even a teen, I never knew I would be a mechanic someday. I would have said anyone was crazy for even thinking it. It's funny how life really has a way of putting you in places and in situations you would have never thought of.

When I started college in Colorado as an AVEP student (high schooler, taking entry level college classes), I never would have imagined that taking an automotive class because it had the right amount of elective credit hours and fit my schedule perfect, would change my whole life and how I see life. I would have never imagined I would become so fascinated with a modern marvel called an automobile and it would become a main part of my life. I never thought I would fall so madly in love with a car they call an "A-body" made by this "Chrysler company", made long before I was even born.

The first pic is me as a little kid with my dad's friend on a vacation (man in pic is not my dad) Second pic is me a few years ago, around the time I joined FABO. I was already bit by the mopar bug. I had just acquired a 69 Dart and I wanted to clone it to a GTS, so I googled 69 Dart GTS and was led to this site which is where I found all the parts I was looking for (still have the car with all the parts on it), and I just stuck around.

Nice grand kids and sure grandpa gets to spoil them. lol
couldn't imagine how much fun it would be having a hawk as a friend mostly knowing that when you turn it loose it will always come home.
Sorry to here about your wife life can sure dish out some hard times but always good times as well.
 
I was a Falconer for many years and had several Red Tails and a Harris Hawk as well. Great to work with, very smart and not something you want to get on the wrong side of, much like a woman! They are a lot of work and you have to go through a 2 year apprenticeship after you get your Federal and State licenses.
The Red tail in the photos is "Spirit", she was my first and last photo is Kahn and he was a Harris Hawk, just a real sweetheart to work with.
