Great to see you enjoying it. It is a beautiful and well built car.
I'd like to find a green equivalent to your blue. It'll a while before I need it.

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

At one point I was going to paint SHAZZBOTT 35 chev roadster a green and collected a lot of pictures of what I called "THAT GREEN".  One I really liked was a 1941 ford NILES GREEN  a grey green that was used on a 34 ford roadster nsra giveaway car.

I spotted a dynamite green on a 2019-2020 AUDI that kinda knocked my sox off.

My fav is the two tone 32 chrysler

Thanks Mike, The '32 Chrysler just exudes class! My Chevy was green that appears through the oxidation to have been medium to dark. I need to clean up a spot of what is left so I can see it better. I kinda' bogged down again. :(

Thanks guys for all your compliments! Last Wednesday night was my first car local cruise! Got a lot of compliments with my dark blue paint! Got some pictures plus a stock and original 28 Chevrolet sedan which had a lot of attention! Plus seemed like almost no one was wearing a mask! I got there early to get a good spot and had left at 7 pm! Yeah got on my car a bit to show what my car has! Plus this Ford Mustang on my way back home was given me thumbs up! So yeah drag raced this guy and beat his ass by several cars! Still working out a few more issues with my car! Hey it’s a hot rod and always tweaking and improving it! Plus 1-1/2 hours at the Massachusetts inspection sticker station and dealing with there new registry’s motor vehicles computer system as the new system did not recognize my vehicle identification number! And finally got my inspection sticker! RoarsRods

Looks like a nice setting for a cruise/get together. I had a friend who would have loved that red shoebox.
Take it easy on the Fords?! I'll bring my Mustang up there and....and....ok, you'll probably beat me too ;)
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Man, that's great. All car shows/cruises around here have been cancelled. Everybody is so afraid!

The NSRA in Louisville Ky was held last weekend, we elected not to attend, first one in 15 years :(

Thanks guys! We’re so lucky here In Massachusetts that our govener is doing a great job with the different phases and as of now we’re having a 1.4% virus rate as other states are 16% and higher rates! Hey we all have to just do our part to keep this virus low! Here’s a few pictures of my 34 Chevrolet Roadster  from last Wednesday car cruise night that someone had posted on the Wheels Of Time Cruises Facebook site! RoarsRods

All great fun car cruises came to a end today as someone complained to the Massachusetts govenor and now shutting down this local car cruise venue to next year! This is a 10 acre parking lot of a big dog track racing! Plus we all wore masks and kept our distance from each other! Now only 25 cars are allowed on this site! Here’s some pictures from last Thursday nights venue! Oh that Chevrolet bird was another early Chevrolet car! RoarsRods
