I finally had afternoon dogs so dropped Charlotte off with Chip this morning so his shiny man could work his magic. It was pissing down rain this afternoon. I wasn't looking forward to walking to his shop to pick her up when Shiny Man and Chip delivered her to my shop. You should see her. The lady with the shop next door asked me if I'd had her painted! She looks like it. Heck...she looks like a brand new truck.
The guy charged me $60. just like he said. I said, "You need more. You are an artiste". He said no, but I tipped him $10. I told him what I told y'all, that I get $42 for a little dogs that takes 45 minutes. I said, "you worked". He was happy and I am beyond delighted. I'm going to have to quit leaving the keys in her from now on. She will be a target for Charlotte thieves.
That's great Liz. It's always a treat when you get real value for a service you've paid for. |^|
Photos please..... maybe before & after?

There's a pic here somewhere of what she looked like after I rubbed her out and waxed her. I'll see if I can find them. She looked good and clean but she was not the shining star she is after Shiny Man had his way with her. I'll get a current pic when it stops raining.

Thank you Dennis dear. I finally found them but you found them first. I'll take shiny pics tomorrow if it's not raining.
I'll be waiting too... w!w |^|
Still raining. I want to take the pics when the sun comes through.
I am not complaining about the rain. Our soil needs it and can absorb more. Other that for a few short downpours it has been fairly gentle.
I have not forgotten. I've been waiting for the sun to come out. Here is my sleek black beauty in all her magnificent glory. Is she not something to behold? You almost need 8) to look at her without being blinded ;) A guy at the beer store said, "nice truck". I felt like a proud mother.
...very nicely done....she's 'puuurty'... =;-)
Very nice looking truck Liz.
Thank you, gentlemen. She is one fine little old lady. Just like me 8)

Wow, she reminds me of black patent leather shoes, or my spit shined leather oxfords we wore in basic training. Oh the cotton balls and shoe polish.........

She will always be my most beloved mechanical child. I take care of The Beast but I will never fall in love with him.
She sparkles Liz! |^|

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Goodie, goodie, goodie...Her previous owners will be dropping off their dog tomorrow. Since she's seen a lot of rain since her time with Shiny Man so I gave her a bath after work today. When they see her I bet they'll wish they have hung on to her.
