well boys lucy ran perfect no problems, all systems are 100% so far after cruising it around for an hour. thanks for the support

Mitch//pa · 06-05-2014, 07:49 AM

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

Tom Wesenberg · 06-05-2014, 09:54 AM

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

mshmodela · 06-05-2014, 10:36 AM

I would add not sure what i like the car or your shop more... nice place to do work

P.S. · 06-05-2014, 04:07 PM

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

Tod · 06-05-2014, 04:32 PM

Mitch, that is absolutely beautiful.

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