Oh yes......
The painted shell and those BOXES>>>>>>
three years ago after placing my '71 cream beige (bedouin) MGB in boxes
and finishing the painted shell syndrome, that was six months after bringing
it home...
I now have a beautiful finished show car.....but....the painted shell,
not to be discouraging was the beginning...or should I say, the 100 hour
point in an 800 hour project......
ALAS.....
It's not shipwrights ,,,, but the thought of putting that old turn signal
light back on, oh but yea I'd better polish the chrome, and get the
toothbrush on that plastic lens.....oh theres a crack...hmm, well an
hour or two running around town, good found a clean correct lucas lens...
ok, so oh yea clean the wires and contacts, and then well the headlight
buckets, gee better strip and paint those....shucks the rubber backing
should be replaced...place an order tonight...yea.....
THE YEARS PASS BY.......but
it actually does end...and very rewarding...and now about those credit
cards, and that last, last, last....little $100 order.....
well, sleep calls....sorry all, just couldn't help joining in...
