You Never Forget Your First Fender

The time had come after too many weeks of puttering around on the front fender to paint it and see if my body work was any good. My internal project clock was ticking, time to get something done.

I decided on a deep blue and started making the rounds to the car lots. Selecting the actual color from a paint chip is risky business; they are just too small to get the full impact of the color. The best way to insure you have the right one is to see it on another vehicle. I made many new friends at the dealers, all the sales people suggested that I just buy a car with the color I liked – they were just looking out for my best interest. I picked a hot color – Blue Topaz Metallic.

See the pictures and the rest of the story at my blog:

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
