Thanks Jack,

  Great article!


 I will let Katie read it, she'll enjoy it.



  We have a clipboard that we bring to shows that has a "Paint or Not to Paint" talley on it.
It's fun in that we allow space for peoples' names, and their location. They check paint or not to paint, and a comment area as to why.

  If I was to paint or not paint the car based ont he votes, the "Not to Paint" votes are still winning (Steveo is soooo lucky), but was a little surprised how many people said to paint it. One person in our club Frank, checked to have it painted.......I wonder why....


I like the authors comment, " In its restored state, the car is almost as exciting as vanilla ice cream"



Thanks again!

Matt
