Re: [FWDLK] Mean & Nasty

[Lou <lou@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hehehe...actually....uh...I did add the dual rear antennas.  :-)  Those
change the
whole look of the car, to me...the angle contributes to the arrow look.
But Mean and Nasty?
hehe...I dunno how Rose Quartz and Coral can ever achieve that (Aside
from the "face"
of the front end. :-). that's why I call this car "Christines younger
sister, Rose."

Now, that '59 that was on Ebay a few months ago...THAT was mean and
nasty.  In fact, I saved
the pic, and Emailed  it to all my friends a little while back, saying
"The new paint is done!  Look!"
And attached this pic:  http://home.cyberia.com/~lou/newpaint.jpg
