I personally have received 14" of snow in the past 48 hours. At my mom's house they got the most they had in 10 years. 26" in 24 hours...

What about black? A desirable Festiva color?

Today we broke a record high temperature for January 12. People were walking around with open jackets. All the snow has completely vanished.

Color: Nope, I'm going with blue. I love blues and reds on cars. But not an opaque-type blue or red, something with a touch of metallic or pearl in it.

WX: Pretty danged warmed winter so far in Oklahoma, too. Cold today but very warm before that. In the 60's yesterday.

(Saturday)

Some underseat tray rails I bought from 'caoverlock' arrived today. Cool!

Went to a Ford dealer here in town to look at possible paint colors for my upcoming paintjob. 99% sure I'm gonna go with "Blue Flame Metallic". Sweeeet! :thumbs_up: Other contenders are "Deep Impact Blue" and "Blue Jeans". All Ford colors. Got a red paint color picked out today, too, if I turn a parts-car into a DD: "Ruby Red", another Ford color.

Washed Twistiva (too freaking cold to give it anything more than a spray-down at a car wash).

And...paid for 3 Festiva emblems.

(Friday)

Fiiiiiiinally was able to get my muffler and the upstream exhaust pipe replaced.

Only took me 3 friggin' trips to Oklahoma City (80 miles one way) to get Midas to put on my 'free' muffler.....:cry_smile:

But, MAN!, is it quieter now! :highly_amused:

And, as a bonus, the guy that did the work showed me where I had an oil leak below the fuel pump. Gotta take care of that.

What paint did you use for the interior trim? I've been wanting to do all black inside.

Krylon Fusion, but I am sure any paint made to bond with plastic will work great.

I am thinking of adding a blue strip down the length of both my bumpers in those grooves. I do have a can of blue Valspar plastic paint and a can of blue Krylon Fusion.

Pictures of it after all the painting that I have done over the last week.

Cell phone camera's don't take pictures for crap unless it is a bright sunny day. :p

Wheels painted with high temperature paint meant for BBQ grills and the like.

It's been off for months. I bought it cause I was going to do this Hotter than Hell Hundred down in Wichita Falls, TX and I didn't end up doing it this year. Took it off cause I do a lot of HWY miles and want the better gas mileage.

And somehow my other photo from yesterday morning got delete...weird.
