Thanks Mario!

Here's a pic of my wife a "nail tech" doing a little letter painting on my new re-chromed 63' grill, as you can tell she has already painted the license plates and the old Chevy frames.

Score!!!!!!!! I received a phone call yesterday asking if I had a nice 67-72 fleetside tailgate and if I was interested in a trade for a set of early 60's sail panels the kind with the paint divider in the middle, I hesitated for a second trying to keep my composure and excitement down telling him in a calm voice that I had a super nice tailgate in my slash(

not disclosing that I had only 50 bucks into the gate) and I guess we could trade if he really needed it, lo and behold he just brought them over, just a little cleaning and they'll be good to go on the Pumpkin.

About 15 years ago I had just bought a 63' Impala and mentioned to the wife that the car plates looked liked sh#t compared to the car, or something to the effect of ....looks like a new pair of sneakers with old shoelaces, she laughed and said "do you want me to paint them? I could make them look a lot better..... remember I paint for a living,

she hasn't stop painting plates and frames since.

Too cool! Was thinking it might be something I could try my hand at someday. Would have to source out someone for painting the tag itself, but I could handle the finer details I think. I'm artistic & have a pretty steady hand.

Does your wife get a lot of business doing them? Looks like she does a great job! Thanks again.

She has done sets here and there mostly for friends and I'm still by far her best customer

but the nail art is still her 1st love.
