WHAT THE . . . . SNOW ? ! ?

...Springtime in the Rockies! And on my birthday yet! Bratling remembered a snowstorm on my birthday when she was just a little girl. Here she is a grown up Little girl and it's happening again!

Rowdy and I took a walk when it was snowing the hardest. As I write, the sun it out!

A '55 RESTORATION UPDATE

From November 2009 after the dash was painted and all the new trim and knobs put on:



The trunk with all that primer:

I went up to Chimayo yesterday and he's the inside of the trunk painted the pure bright white it will be:

This is the inside of the trunk lid (if you couldn't figure that out!):

...and yours truly,

I was told that if the weather is calm on Tuesday and Wednesday, the rest will get painted. We are going with the true Bel Air two-tone with white above the trim (trunk and top) and turquoise below. The interior will be turquoise, too. We've gotten the interior already; it's made from the original style fabric, carpet and headliner. I'll post pictures of the seats that have been completed soon.
