That would be worse! She's not a bad driver but backing up is not her strong suite.

Thanks! I can't wait to share it with everyone.

I need to get some new front tires before I travel too far with it.

Maintenance things that I have left to do other than that are

Sparkplugs
Tranny fluid change

And I think I'll feel confident in it.

JJ, Photoshop Elements 10's somewhat long list of fonts doesn't have anything close to what you have there. Do you have the name of the font??

This is what i came up with so far. I can flop in any color you want, would just like the get the font a little closer.
Only real issue I ran into was bending the text, as you can see it starts to get a bit distorted...

Started on Project #3....

A little apprehensive about this one (sort of) as the radiator cover is pretty big and wouldn't you know it...ran out of paint halfway thru!

Ah well! all I wanted was a light first coat, so i'll get back at it tomorrow.

Radiator cover sanded and lightly misted with primer:
