TINA PATINA (73 4dr Imperial) will join her GINGER SIBs in MINNESOTA
- Thread starter DocMcNeedy
- Start date
Not sure my timeline on the paint...first thing is get her full shop exam for mechanical in the shop schedule...then finish mechanical before Winter...new tires... Which is exactly what is occurring now for Little Red (72 Coupe)...then come Winter, body and paint for Little Red...and maybe just selective areas of rust repair, dings, new vinyl top on Tina Patina. I might leave the patina for awhile and just drive her.
Tina Patina should be ready for the Farmington Mopars in the Park show...that's the goal.

Keep the patina on Tina, you will enjoy the bling paint on the coupe when it´s new and will appreciate the patina when going with her ...
is there a difference between A4 silver and A5 ?! looks the same to me on pics ..
there is a fine line between a herder and a hoarder
the herder cares about all individuals, the hoarder just
gets more than he is capable to deal with.. so I go with Doc the Imperial Herder

That formula is going to be successful... and you get the better car.
Their probably pissed about the 2 parking spaces you consume. Do the patient's mind the grease under the fingernails?

A4 Silver is the darker of the 2 and goes by Winchester gray metallic while A5 is Silver Frost.Keep the patina on Tina, you will enjoy the bling paint on the coupe when it´s new and will appreciate the patina when going with her ...

There's an *interesting* group of car guys where I work. One is a big Camaro guy, another just finished a Factory 5 Cobra, another has a bone stock 2017 Mustang GT and another has a Scoobydoo WRX. They all just sort of look at my car like it's some sort of alien contraption as they wait, wide eyed for me to screw up backing it in my parking space.
Thanks. They are all stored inside and are getting their individual issues sorted out.Keep the patina on Tina, you will enjoy the bling paint on the coupe when it´s new and will appreciate the patina when going with her ...

And you park it on a dime, right?

Damned straight. I leave a good 1/4" on the passenger side and always back in (mustang guy pulls in) so no one is cramped entering their cars.And you park it on a dime, right?
Though I spent 4 years driving truck, the 6 years spent between Seattle, Vancouver and Montreal parallel parking my 68 several times a day earned me some skills.
I love the patina reminds of a beautiful painted horse.

Great car, Doc! Congrats on another beauty. I was getting silver vibes, alright. Hard to see from the pics- is the interior white?
Touchdown in Minnesota!

Wow, wasn’t expecting cloth. Really cool! Not as resilient against dog nails though. I love the ‘59 Buick, even if it is kinda small...

Great to hear, glad it made it safe and sound. I hate to let go of an Imperial, but at least she is going to a good home. To make room for the B5 car I also sold my '63 Imp a couple of weeks ago. I liked the '63, but it was no Fusey.
