TAP REMOVAL: Picked up the smallest Grab-it easy out I could find, some new titanium drills and a new 4-40 tap. Will attempt removal tonight, which is Blues Night on the local jazz station, garage background music.
A MUSING ENTRY Most guys should stay out of interior design and paint color issues, except for cars. Choosing the paint color(s), interior materials, top color of a car is about the only territory men have the final say on color design. I think I'm switching from a warm gray, Niagara Gray, to Cuban Tan. Most of the years I drove the Duchess, she was tan, either 57 Chevy Metallic (1959-63) Root Beer or something close to Cuban Tan (71-86). But attached are other colors, which all have their merits.
DAUGHTER MOLLY She always liked standing on cars and I'm proud to say the Packard is where she practiced first. Today she works in Hollywood and last week sent this pic from a job, note green screen, for a movie with a boxing theme standing on a hotrod. She's stood in for several famous female celebrities.
