Ahhhh, the days when Detroit actually hired stylists and designers!!!!!

The days before the accountant's input drives the styling decisions? Or maybe even that the accountants are making the decisions!!

I suppose the bean counters had a lot to do with it, but I also think back to the days that the US Automakers started building junk with no styling, no performance, and tried to tell the buyers that that's what they wanted!!!! The foreign car companies still built cars with performance and decent styling with the result being the onslaught of millions of foreign cars being sold in the US!!!!!

Other than the above it's okay. I finally got the end gate 4000 sanded and buffed. Turned out fairly good. I have to get some pictures up. I'm sorry. I've got so much going on I keep forgetting to take my camera.
