we took turns to test ride the van. it runs silky and smooth :) i'm very confident about crossing country on this :) we'll see.
本日は代わる代わるテストライドの日。絹のような走りに唸る、木村氏。私は大陸横断の手応えを確かに感じた・・・気がした。こればっかりは行ってみないと分かりませんけど、行けそうもないのと行けそうな気がするのとでは大違い。
awww, i was thinking about the same thing, remember, i'm an expert when it comes to removing paint...
だよね、だよね、色はがしニストとして私もそれがとーーっても気になっていたのです。
while shinya was using the modern tools...
文明の利器を駆使する木村氏とは違って・・・
i only used a scraper to peel off a huge decal on the body.
スクレーパー一本でサイドのドデカステッカーをはがす色はがしニスト、ちょっとはがし過ぎちゃった所はドンマイっと。
the original paint was blue. then someone put pearl eggshell white with those fresh lines. but then next owner threw down a brush painting in bright white tried to say "a brand new paint"...

ahhh! Very nice paint underneath. I love this van, and all your vans hahaha. I think you should take the letters on the front "Beauville" and rearrange and add letters to make it say "Bonneville"
I like that idea...perhaps a 'Bonneville' emblem is lurking in a wrecking yard on an old Pontiac?
You remind me of my time working on the California Railroad Museum project. There were several people assigned to do paint research on old railcars. Lot's of careful sanding and note taking to pass on to the painters in the restoration shops. Problem was...one of the researchers was color-blind...oops! (orstoh 7....I am not a robot...beep! I am not a robot...beep!...)
Busch Brothers and Hairy Larry: ah! we didn't think about that! we'll find some more letters next time :)
Hairy Larry: wow, paint research on old railcars! thank you for sharing a very interesting and funny story :D
