    Had to go out in the rain, but it passed its State inspection. First time on the road since the winter of '92.

    It was quite a longish time. The damaged urethane was one reason, and then the TRX tires issue. Thanks to my friends here I learned to fix it, and also caught word of LMR's reproduction TRX style wheels.
    It will still need a lot of wet sanding and buffing, but the results in areas done are very satisfactory, especially considering the conditions under which it was painted.
    I think the guys at the shop enjoyed the novelty of having two of these in at the same time. Susie is smiling. Happy wife, happy life!
    (Now maybe I can work on MY car)
    Thanks guys
