Applied in the parking lot? Yes.
Anyone remember the JC Whitney catalog of tacky junk for your car?

When I had the (first) repair and repaint done on my 1800S, instead of buying all new side trim from Volvo I had something similar done at the suggestion of the body/paint shop, some sort of franchise thing. It was done in the parking lot, the guy was a butcher, but it was straighter than this job and did look pretty good. Fresh out of the Navy the factory trim wasn't in the budget after body work and paint.matthew1 wrote: ↑15 Dec 2022, 14:28I love it.

And now, for something completely different ( tip'o the hat to M. Python ):
Close to 400 pics, a claimed $50k in work receipts.
Trans is based on a pretty rare Mercury Merkur from the wayback.

Owner/builder mentions the Odyssey buying the car in Canada to start the project.
Just listed and over 80 comments at the moment. This should be an interesting trip.

Hey, watch yourself, I bought stuff from them (they still exist in some form*, I got a kingpin kit for the Studebaker 3/4T not too many years ago.)

I think I bought the JC Whitney dual exhaust kit for my 302 Bronco HS project. Because HS, because loud. It was one side of the exhaust system and an additional glass pack to replace the stock muffler on the other side. Plenty loud. What I don't recall is how the crossover pipe on the stock exhaust was capped.

Slightly off topic but might interest people. A 2000 V70 SE with 50k miles and supposedly a manual transmission at a dealership in Chicago. Pics of the shifter or it doesn't exist. I've seen a few of <60k mile gems come up on eBay and AutoTrader recently, but this is the only one which claims to have a manual.

Over $10k and the front LH front fender at least looks repainted. Would be nice to see the interior.
