Very nice detailing. Looks super,and a good idea to drive it before you put on the body.

Re: lucy's maiden voyage tomorrow ////UPDATE
 

UPDATE::::::
well it seems forever waiting but i got the body back saturday from the paint shop and next week we are going to wet sand and polish things. i had the ford maroon scanned off the official paint and finish guide chip which was rated at a 100% match. so far i put on the chicken wire and visor then after the polishing etc we plan to drop in the tank and install the roof. i took many pics of the interior wood, seat upholstery etc.. etc which are in my Lucy restoration album in my profile.
i am looking to be on the road by august hopefully...

installed the lift today at the house
beats dragging it into a busy shop environment to clean her bottom or do other minor items.
room for the mower underneath

Beautiful color choice, and the same as my friend's 30 Murray Town Sedan.

You'll be busy to get the car on the road by August. Good Luck:)

Re: lucy's maiden voyage tomorrow
 

I just LOVE that maroon lower/black upper paint scheme! Very nice. Also love Tudors, so you have a winning combination there.

Re: lucy's maiden voyage tomorrow
 

Mitch, that is absolutely beautiful.

You'll have to drive down to my shop some day. How far do you live from route 14?

Tod
