Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for February 18, 2024

$95 a gallon!

Getting the car running is a higher priority.

Baldo needs to be introduced to Bondo.

That wreck needs a wrecker.

Paul Harvey once told a story about a dude in California who wanted a bright bright red for his car but couldn’t find it. Finally in desperation he told the paint man he wanted the color to be like his wife’s fingernail polish. So, like Gracie, the paint guy bought thousands of dollars (wish I could remember how much he spent) of that nail polish to paint the car.

I thought it was already red.

You may be able to match the colour, Baldo. I’d finish the mechanical work first, though.

Gracie can help by reading the Chilton Manual to him while he works.

Racing stripes? O<[|;o)

The 62 Impala had bench front seats not bucket.

Cherry blossom would be a pastel pink.

No, she’s not helping at all. You first have to remove all the rust and dirt, sand it down, patch if necessary, apply primer and let it dry, then you think about painting it.

In fact, Yes, they do.

Various shades of RED are the most popular car colors available.

Better buff out the rust first, or it’ll keep growing underneath the paint. ;-) Maybe she’s got an emery board she can use!

Already covered. it’s got Baldo.
