Thanks again, guys. Edsel pickup rocks my world a bit actually. To do that to a car as rare and bonkers as a "normal" Edsel must take some cohones. But to finish it to such a good standard most people don't even notice it's been "done" takes some skill as well. That Firebird seems to have been in better nick when it was blue, then? The paint on it now is flatter than Flat Eric. Still, funny that they kept the sticker when it was resprayed. The window seems to be held in my bathroom sealant  That link doesn't seem to be working? Is this better? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dolphins_Poster.jpg ah, yeah, that makes more sense... EDITED FOR LINK |

The Edsel was in CA the other month - pretty cool! What a great thread! Fantastic words to go with the awesome pictures! See, that's how you do an American car show thread. My last one (http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=135127) sank without trace without a single comment! (I did post it the evening after RRg12 though!) Good work!  |

. That Firebird seems to have been in better nick when it was blue, then? The paint on it now is flatter than Flat Eric. Still, funny that they kept the sticker when it was resprayed. The window seems to be held in my bathroom sealant The Firebird has always been red, Or it has since it's been in the UK (It was originally Carousel red, which is bright orange). The paint was never great but you could get a good shine on it.  The blue is the of the Firebirds replacement which has the same 'Ladyluck' on the back window .  |

The blue is the of the Firebirds replacement which has the same 'Ladyluck' on the back window . Ahhh, explains a lot then. The paint on the Firebird is now flatter than an X-Factor contender hitting the high notes, sadly. I even looked at the Cougar in your sig and never made the connection it was blue. I even remember looking at your thread and wondering if your headlight door bellows squeaked like my mate's do  Doh! Note to self: pay more attention! What a fantastically entertaining thread! ;D I grew up in Worthing, this show has always been a highlight. Thanks! Yeah, the show's great considering how compact and bijou it is. More than anything, it's nice to have a show I can walk to (most of the ones I go to end up being a 300 mile roundtrip or something) Brighton Speed Trials next week, mind  Now, that's a show! |
