When I took the 1940 Ford apart two and a half years ago to get it painted and finish the restoration (after only 47 years at the time), the goal was to have it done in time for my son's wedding. That wedding takes place one week from today! I get to drive the Bride and Groom away from the church! I spent most of the day cleaning and waxing the Ford so that it will be looking its best on his big day! I still have a number of things to check, and have to jack up the rear end so that I can rotate the tires to clean the rear white walls (I don't want to remove the skirts if I can avoid it).

This will be a very memorable event for your son and his new bride.

dont let anyone unknowingly put shaving cream writing on beautiful finnish. when my wife and Iwere married in 1978 we drove away in my 1961 Rambler station wagon with the faded light blue paint. you could still see the "JUST MARRIED"etched in the old non clear coat paint the day i sold the wagon a few years later. appoint a trust worthy "car guard" to ward off such an event. Tom.

trkford8, Thank you sir! same, Thank you! I have already told my son that no one is to write on the car as I was afraid of that very thing happening. I am working on attaching a "Just Married" sign in such a way that it will prevent any temptation on the part of the best man or groomsmen. This message was edited by RAK402 on 10-20-24 @ 12:08 PM
