Sarah, a few shows back you spoke about your friend that no longer can work on cars because of his health. You mentioned that you didn't have the time to work out and take care of yourself. As a senior member of society I have one piece of advice. Make working out a priority, resistance training (lifting weights)and cardio to a lesser extent. Apply the same level of dedication and passion to taking care of your health as you do to your work (which is excellent!) and you will be able to follow your passion for many years. It may slow the pace of your progress on your projects but in the long run you will be better off.

Sarah dearest, Fresh air. Lots of fresh air. And water 💧. Same: lots. Dr. Rapp’s prescription for feeling better by the morrow. It is good to see your OCD did not suffer from your little expedition with Charlie a week or so ago; visiting the UrQuattros at play. Sanded to (mostly) 800 grit 🤪. Ready for paint. Except there will be at least a day of additional prep before you are, approximately, satisfied 🧐. Please to be so kind so to keep your pretty head inside your ventilator hood during dusty or chemically challenging process😵‍💫. Much better you will feel after all prep is done. Keep the aspidistra flying! Paul

First: Amazing jorb. I did all the bodywork, prep, and painted my first car, a 1966 AMC Rambler 2 door, and it ended up....fine. I learned a TON, however, and got some great pointers along the way, and then next one was my dad's 1968 Buick Skylark Convertible, and THAT paint job ended up looking amazing. It was so rich and shiny that it looked wet, like you could dip your finger in it. The Rambler was sad next to that, so I went and re-did the paint on the Rambler because I make excellent choices.

It's hard enough just to film the work. But doing both is a nightmare. Good work young lady! Keep it up. (PS I actually accidentally deleted a video off an SD card the other day: Did you know they can be recovered? I didn't until I did it. Took an hour, but it worked. I didn't know it could be done).
