HEY! You're right! I wondered why I remembered the movie car as so ridiculously ugly and then somehow I thought you were doing the same basic car???/

My mistake, in a big way. But my compliments are still for you!

You are thinking of the "Corvette Summer" car which is much different from this car!

Hmmmm,.

As a car buff from waaaay back I recall cringing when that movie came out and I first saw the abomination of a Vette playing the leading role?

Congratulations though-

You have turned one FUGLY movie car into a nice looking model. Toast
