that made it nice. Getting the Zeniths working is a the easy part - I think

I was going to have it painted this year as there has been body work done to
the front of the car. It was a horrible re-spray (water in lines), and it
doesn’t quite match the rest of the car. The original paint is badly checked,
so to do a complete strip and re paint is about $6500. I think

These will probably need to be chemically stripped. The chrome is pitted badly
in the holes on the wheel. It’s possible the underlying metal is affected as

I’m putting them on CL and BenzWorld today as-is unless someone here wants them.

That's what happens when you don't use rattle cans.
Son was constantly fussing at me about paint on the Beetle he drove to school.

Of course, this time I just forgot to release the emergency brake. Duuh!

I had forgotten, but I think i learned that lesson the same way with

don't use it, it can't stick on.
Emergency brakes should be used frequently, or not at all.
If you use them all the time
Yup. That's what kicked out the ramps since the engine didn't start.

IF is a big word! In mine, the prop goes to high RPM (flat pitch) when
there is no oil pressure, so that is what would happen with an engine
