I was able to be in the right place at the right time with a little good luck thrown in for a change.

Mechanical isn't a problem.If I needed to replace the grill,fender etc.,,,,that could be a chore.

She was badass! As a kid I got cracked once or twice by nuns that could have played that part easily.

In that case, I think I would leave it alone.  Any overcoat might cause the ink to run.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it!  Very cool!

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

TD4438, My brother and I were just talking about that same subject last week. We're both in our 70's and our hands are in bad shape. We got our knuckles hit quite a few times with the pointer, the heavy wooden ruler, and also that mahogany clicker with the ball in the middle. The one we had wouldn't teach girls. She always said that if she hit one of the boys, he'd go sit in the corner and not give her any trouble. If she hit one of the girls, they'd fight back.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Oh man, you are like a God to me. That is way too cool and a very fine tribute to a true American pop culture icon. Preserve it forever!

Hope THIS conversation never takes place in that car:

"OH NO, we've thrown a rod!! "  

"Is that bad? "

"Yeah"

That is so AWESOME!!!!!  But it's missing one thing though.  You need all the garbage on the dashboard so it can slide all over whenever you take a turn.
