The hood is back on!! This is the first time the hood has been on the car (as in, “properly installed”) since I first took it off in August 2010.

A few weeks ago, a painter who’d been recommended by the paint store came by to check it out. He liked what he saw (for the most part) and said that he could indeed make Frank shiny again. He had some projects and jobs ahead of us, but he’d give a call when he’s ready… probably in a few weeks.

I CAN’T WAIT!!! HE’S GOING TO BE A CAR AGAIN SOON!!
