Reminds me of my own curmudgeonly grandfather, who managed to be a
hermit in the middle of Los Angeles. He used to say, and maybe this
explains why he had no friends: "Most people got constipation of the
brain and diarrhea of the mouth." Charming, charming...

Hi all:
I am going to paint my '76 Spit. Probalbly using the K-mart spray can method.
What tools do I use to prepare the surface for paint. I have some rust
on the trunk lid. Do I need a special sander or just my $20.00 electric
drill with some fancy attachment? Should I prime the entire car? What color
primer?
Also, my battery box is rusted out. Should I order a plastic box to replace it
or should I get some flashing or what?

P.S. I noticed a lot of you will put some witty saying or catch phrase at the
end. Here is one that my grandfather (Paw Paw Haw) once said:
"The human race is going to screw themselves out of a place at the
dinner table."
