My 1957 Cessna was painted with Imron in the '60's, then repainted with Dulux (?) in the '70's. It needs painting now - - no reason was given in the logs for the paint jobs. On Tue, Feb 28, 2017 at 11:06 PM, Scott Ritchey via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > At least back in the 80s,

Bitter cold is 20 below 0 and colder. The only Diesel I had trouble starting at 20 below was the worn out 1965 190Dc I bought for $400 and drove several winters as a winter car. Yes, it was the one that wiped out the pinto and drove away. I 'd put a propane torch on the head and heat it

Imron was very expensive. It appears to hold up well. After 4 years the factory black on the frame was fading. After 40 years the imron is nice. Craig via Mercedes February 28, 2017 at 10:11 PM On Tue, 28 Feb 2017 20:28:57 -0600 Curley McLain via Mercedes I

They do it for you, silly! You just go through the catalog and choose the car model and year, then click on the RSS icon and it goes into your RSS feed. Any time there is a change you’ll get a notification. Can’t get much easier than that. -D > On Feb 28, 2017, at 1:43 PM, Kaleb C.
