I just love these pictures.

I maintain that those of us who play with old cars and the like are all artists to some degree.  I have even been interviewed and had photos of my work displayed in public (photos of my T120R, my T100S and my 280SL).   I thought my silver cutlery wind chimes or melted precious metal teaspoon pendants would be more artistic but they went for the 60's machinery.

Hey Chuck  - - - Thanks for posting that !

I was an Art History major for a while in college so these are particularly pleasing to see. They might end up in a frame on the wall of my study - -



P.S. My BBB is a little better condition that the one pictured in one of the photos.

(I think I remember you saying that  "Faded Stars" was the name of your little repair operation??)
