Well, thanks,Ron Icon_smile

We vets need to know that...I have had time to really look this 630B over, and I've decided not to refinish the front( so I can retain the old decal).
But the van dyke brown part looks every one of it's 68 years. The cab itself needs re-gluing in spots, so I have ANOTHER refin for springtime. Already got a new V-shaped grillecloth from John at grillecloth.com.
I may do a shabby-chic pink on it until then....I've got some purple appliques that would look just yummy!! Icon_razz

And I think I will take the old electric junk out of it and put a CD changer in there. Then it will be like the Thomas line of GOOD radios. Icon_twisted

violet grille cloth... maybe some sequins along the front. Chrome-plate the knobs and Then it will look like a whoremaster's favorite!! Icon_lol

Right there beside the pearl-handled derringer! Icon_surprised

Real close to my new invention, the AC battery(eh,Batterymaker??) Icon_confused
