Are you talking about the outside? Local vanagonite and list member Bob
Williams painted his 82 white, and it looks great. I have an 83 and once
every half-decade I use Clorox Outdoor, which is a thin gel, then I
pressure wash it off. It kills all the algae and looks very good.

Does anyone know if Roger Sisler is still on the list or is he still
selling his stainless steel top fastener kits anywhere?

Likewise, I nowadays tell people to take a number when they want to make an
offer. People whom I have worked with for years and paid my car no
attention have, in the last six months or a year, begun referring to it as
"the coolest car in the state."
