    Sure do like what you have done to the paint just below the gas filler cap.

    Looks like an oil burner that over filled many, many times.

    Jeff, the cigar guy, and his trusty brother-in-law, Mike, are back and online again! It looks as if TheModFather is enjoying one of the cigars I left when we visited Isobell over the weekend. Trust me, he has done a terrific job and seeing it in person REALLY shows the hard work to make it such a success! :Thumbsup: Thanks a lot for showing it to us...Mike [my B-I-L] was yakking about it all the way back to Denver and into the next day [when in left for 2 weeks of trout fishing at Yellowstone]. BTW, I'll be forwarding your pics of the Rat-MINI to him!

    I can't wait to see you pull up in Isobell next year at MOTD! Again, GRRRRRRREAT JOB, and thanks again for showing it to us!:Thumbsup:

    Thanks for making the time to come to the house, it was great seeing you again, and meeting your B-I-L. As soon as the computer gets fixed again I will put up more pic's for everyone. The two cigars I smoked already where great! Think I could get back into stogies...

    lf ANYONE else is ever in Colorado, dont be shy if you wana come to the house... Send me a PM and I will get back to you.

    So is it just me, or is there another ghost face in this pic?

    [​IMG]

    (Full size pic in the last set I got up)

    Look at the rust around the "gas hole", the cap cuts off from the nose up, but I see a guys face... Maybe its just me... Or the car really is haunted! :)
