    You haven’t lived, until…

    Until you see a freshly painted, still wet, brand new 69 sport mirror fall off the paint stand and hit the concrete floor, sliding and bouncing, collecting every piece of trash that was on the floor in the shiny wet paint, and leaving red paint marks on the floor.

    I invented an entire new language in the process…

    This falls right in line with the old adage:  80% of PAINT is PAIN.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    I can't give you credit for inventing that language, I'm sure I used it a few times.

    If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.

    There is an old Latin phase for that situation that I learned years ago from the machine shop I was dealing with … Fukus Ruinum.

    65 Fastback, 351W, 5-speed, 4 wheel discs, 9" rear,  R&C Front End.

    I spoke that same language when I was pulling my temp fuel setup out of the car and flung a little gasoline on the new Recaro seats.
