My retirement plan, or sooner, is too replace all the repaired rustbelt parts with nice rustfree unpatched stuff and respray in one of the newer pearl whites with base/clear...
Besides it never hurts to have spares for a 38 year old car!!!

Strange..... mentioning 'Pearl White' - <ramble in effect> -
I was on the Metro North heading down the Hudson River
to Grand Central Station - checking out Paint on all
the rides in the parking lots - quite a few - .
Was thinking of a Rogue I'd seen in the RWB paint -
mostly White with the wide Red waist band - Blue
rockers etc. - very *Tasty* scheme - but I was
looking for a 'White' that had more body -
Pearl usually is too much Pearl - witness the Cadillac Allante'
two seater - which is fine on the showroom floor but add
a few chips 'n is cheaper lookin' than a '68 Double-Wide on
packing crates.
Enter: = the new LINCOLN whatever it is SUV =
*Nice* subtle White mildly Pearl paint - saw one pulling out
of the station and another while partaking just outside
GCTerminal off Lexington Ave. - this is a Pearl White
that I believe will 'wear' well over time.
This paint you could use a non-Pearl Red / Blue against and would
look Stellar.
My Cat is a 'Snow Pearl' White - parked at this moment
to the left of my keypad in the top drawer - all 15 lbs. -
so this *White* thing runs in the Family - partial too.
Check out the LINCOLN whatever it is SUV - has cool looking
tail light panel treatment as well - no Idea what the thing costs -
let alone FUEL.......
AMC content:
They had NASCAR #48 at the new Lowe's Depot today -
almost had my pix taken with the car but the line
of 7 year olds ahead countersteered me to a cooler of
GatorAide just inside the Main door.
Before all this tho, a Toyota Tundra parked in front
of my Cherokee - yeah, I know..... but that 4.7 litre
is my favorite mill - belt drive DOHC, VVT-i, compressed
graphite light weight Iron cyl. block,powder forged rods,
forged crank, 'n looks like a HEMI - 284.5cu.in. 271HP.....
sounds 'hairy' running thru Borlas' -
I've got a pix of one as a screensaver.... . so I asked the guy:
"say Budd....that a 4.7? . mind popping the hood? - I'm
thinking of stuffing one of these in a Gremlin.......
You'd think I was his rich long lost cousin - grinning ear to ear:
"a Gremlin?...... you mean Gremlin? slanty back car [gesturing - Grin]?
one of
those ? Really?... Christ! it'll be the fastest Car out here !
At least the fastest Gremlin!..... you have one of those ? What Color?
Blue? yeah..... I think I know that color..... like Blue Jean Blue?
Yah.....I' seen one like that - I know that color ! I got an '85 Toyota
truck too - jeeze,
Incredible.
Folks LOVE AMC - regardless.
[sweet fu&!n motor to look at...last year belt drive / gear'd cams - 2006 -
looks like two big black titts hangin' off the front of the motor - god!she's
sexy.....
.. and the exhaust headers dump in the right places to fit the Hornet/Gremlin
series with no mods - god this is tough!]
Well, lessee..... Nash made Fighter Aircraft Engines in WW-II, after
the conflit the Japanese used the Aluminum scrap which was then recycled
a few times
and ended up here in the USA, where AMC must have made SOMETHING AMC
out of - which got recycled and went to the Toyota foundry in the
South - which became a 4.7..... so .... help me out on this John Elle...;)
the Buick engine AMC used had aluminium right ?
