    It´s time for the Slab picture thread

    At Keith McCormick's car auction in Palm Springs, November '24. Same place where @DocMcNeedy bought one of his Imperials. Shaky video like all the ones shot with a "phone"... unwatchable - makes me dizzy.

    The weaponization of the DMV

    Update - three years later. Still not registered yet, still in drydock.... Letter received from Stellantis in September. I took that, along with an identical OEM emissions sticker, the broadcast sheet, into my local DMV and they sent it all up to Sacramento. Sacramento got back to me a month...

Since this is an agricultural project we didn't have to go through the state architect for review, and could be a lot...

    Fixing a noisy, tinny sounding trunk lid on my Formal

    You could probably just grind the paint off of the top, skim coat the entire lid with filler, and repaint it, and it wouldn't be noticeable. With only 2-3 mm I wouldn't think that you would have to remove the foam. But, as you've said, it's already painted, so is it really worth it to you - and...

    Fixing a noisy, tinny sounding trunk lid on my Formal
