Is the removal of paint a custom job? If so... Mines white, blue, brown, a little more white, some green, and a little red... mix in some sanding filler...

Did not take long to notice that it had been painted 3 times in the past.....it seemed like they had just painted over the old coats each time as it was bubbling in areas and the C3 lines had become rounded instead of sharp.

I just sensed that I had to have it done properly and therefore took it to a professional painter who sanded it down to factory original fiberglass and then painted it.

The colors are way more spectacular in person than on any pictures.

At dawn and also at dusk she turns into a rainbow of blue and green and purple. When I drive down the road with the sun at my back, the hood will be aqua blue on one side and emerald green on the other with hues of purple on the sharp edges of the fenders...

I wanna make you smile
Whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
Oh all I wanna do is grow old woth you.

I'll get your medicines
When your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice growing old with you

Chorus:
I'll Miss you, kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you, feed you
I'll even let you hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes on our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
Oh i could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you
