New Old Guy from N.B.

Hi everyone,
It's been a couple years since I've posted here. Glad to be back.
I recognize a few from the V8Board & George N.'s site.
My '71 still sporting the original engine/trans......the entire drivetrain.
Frame on restoration completed in early '03.
My direction with the car is to keep it stock while adding accessories/options as I find them. Summer street cruiser only. Put on about 1200 miles last Summer. Be digging it out of Winter storage possibly by late April.

Good to see you here, Steve!

[Steve Craig]

Thanks guys.
Trying to add my name at the bottom of a post, along with an e-mail address.
User CP I'm sure will do it & is likely looking at me......I just can't see it.
Can someone remind me?

[Brad Conley]

Try it now, Steve. See if it doesn't show up.

Hi Brad,
Doesn't seem to want to work. Is this related to the IMG code setting?

EDIT: Working OK.

Thank You.

[Brad Conley]

Not a problem...you'll notice you have some new forums to view now, too. I "turned on" your membership status (forgot to do so when you renewed-duh!).

Hey, and if you get a moment, send me the photo you used in your avatar. I have the same color interior, and think it will help me paint the correct colors on the dash stuff. I already used the wrong color on one item I painted.:DOU:

'71 Dark Sandalwood for the dash. I had the folks at www.autocolorlibrary.com mix me 6 spray cans. Sent them my under column bezel to ensure a correct match.
Recipe # is: DDL-TCP122603(SC)

That may prove to be very useful for my LeSabre...

How much did they charge for the cans?

[71stage1conv]

I bought a Sandalwood can for the tilt steering column I'm adding (I have Sandalwood int.), but it ended out being the exact color I needed for the back seat metal pieces for a convertible (of course I didn't realize it until after I painted the column too):DOU: :RANT: :CRAP: . I believe the dash on my car is medium beige.:COMP:

[Steve Craig]

The cans were quite reasonable. I was really sent for a roll when the freight & brokerage charges from the carrier came in. This was 2 years ago but I'm pretty sure the fees were an add'l $ 142.00 for a $ 37.00 order of paint!
This is all carrier based delivery fees not initiated by the vendor in sunny CA.

UPS???

Fed Ex.......I think. I had a bright red & white "Canadian" tattoo on my forehead, a Maple Leaf shirt & I smiled the day it was delivered. They also claimed "special handling" as it was cans of paint.
