Stella's tub awaits prep and strip
work. When I see this picture, I think that I have all my winter car
work cut out for me. I have two 2002 Fests to go to this month (Mid-America
2002 Fest and
2002 Fest West) and I have probably 30 days of good driving left before
Fall makes it uncomfortable to drive a car with little steel left under the
driver's right foot. I noticed the other day that the two steel posts that
hold the gas pedal on continue to make their decent towards the asphalt the
more I put my foot into it. I'm convinced the fest visits will
help me decide how to approach painting the car, what color to paint it, and
what else I should do before it gets painted. |

very minor surface rust. |

old tub so others may live on. |
