You're already helping- I'm headed out in a few to check out the oil and engine. And will be utilizing the DIY forum for help and hopefully also to offer advice down the road. Though it sounds like you've all got lots of experience, vehicles, and good memories, in your 'portfolios' :^). The deep red looks a lot like the chassis paint chip I pulled off years ago. I was lucky that my family staged an intervention after my first spray this past September on the body panels, and convinced me to forgo the "Big Daddy" Mysterion yellow that I'd pruchased 20 yrs ago (and still good!) thinking it was Cream Medium- not! :^O. Thanks for the words of encouragement, warm welcome and advice again, everyone.
