Right, right. Sorry.

Right, right. Sorry.

Sorry?Looking at my post I know it was not clear what I meant.I was just making sure I was clear.I really like the idea of a red skunk so in my mind she is now the Red Skunk.

It was just a polite 'sorry.' I didn't really mean it.*

Kind of stalled waiting on the steering head bearings to get here and getting Old Yeller up and ready to go.Did get the taillight on and the new lens to,but that's about it.Oh yeah the tin's are ready for paint to.

Side to side without a trace of notches.Tried the threaded rod technique to get the the neck races in.They insisted on cocking ,so I applied the brute force and ignorance technique.In my case a 3lbs club hammer and a piece of 3/4 plywood.

Now I can get the rest together.Going to a buddies tomorrow and if he can get insurance we will go riding.May do stuff after but Sunday is more likely.
Seen my paint colour today.Most metallic reds are a more maroon colour that I'm not that fond of.Toyota has one I really like.A real red with metal flakes in it

This is it,with a pearl white "skunk stripe" I think this will really stand out!

That red used to be a Lexus only color. I painted my '65 Skylark the same color.
Garnet Pearl Metallic.

It is beautiful!

I've probaly seen the colour a thousand times.Today was the first time I looked at it.Was in the rattle cans at Canadian Tire but when I seen metalic my reaction was "no mettalic red thank you." Then today I noticed a Toyota in it and went "nice colour".

They used it on Tacoma pick up trucks too.
