gregw, wow! thanks for your virtually instantananeous responce, when i got home yesterday first thing i did was scrape some blue paint from a couple of small places on the 100m and found "zakly" that, kinda flat red, i wasnt sure since the previous owner of the "pool healey" property had a body shop and i had no idea what iteration the paint job might have gone through. wave

Actually it is because I am retired and am able to spend 6 to 8 hours a day, 7 days a week on the project. Also it is fun to raise a piece of junk back from the dead to something presentable. Keeps the mind active. This is my forth restoration. Have a good day!

John
