    Several years ago i saw an ad for an old machine. I responed to the ad and wet over to see what the lady had. I saw it was a featherweight and decided to buy her even though she was a mess. I am hoping Billie (lostn51)can fix her.

    Here are pics of Betty. I want her to grow up and be a sparkling red machine. Serial #AL437829

    Ohhhhh, that poor baby. She's been neglected for a very, very long time. Bebe, it sounds like she's found herself a loving home. When Billy gets her all beautiful again, will you post pictures, please?

    Here I Is!!!! :lol:

    Bebe I can say I have seen worse, the question I have is do you want a true candy paint job or do you want the effect of a candy paint job. What I mean by effect is a DEEP come swim in me type of color. A lot of OEM colors out there have that effect but I can do the true candy.

    I did get your Email and I will get back to you tomorrow or the next day and we can talk about what we are shooting for!


    Billy

    She is a diamond in the rough. I'm so glad she found a good home with you.
