Herbie is gone.

Guess that headline grabs attention. No not the real one,I'm not sure where all of them are. Nope I'm sure Fieldings is resting nicely at it's home. My son decided it's time to let go and remove the stickers from my 67. I thought I'd do backflips since it's the only thing holding me up from restoring the little guy. But as I sat and looked at the crumpled up vinyl on the ground and the ugly paint missing where it came off I didn't feel in the mood. Pretty sad in the end. I figure it has one more trip to make before totaly being redone and reborn,so this is it's last year rolling around town half done.
Anybody feeling patriotic this 4th of July make me an offer on the interior. I figure seat covers and package tray cover won't be needed anymore.

Had to run out to Ooltewah to take my wife something for her work. I noticed her office keys laying in my car.I buzzed back around but it was getting late and time to pick up my son. Hope I didn't miss to much.

What made you do away with Herbie? Did it just get old to you.

Everyone Keeps asking me  about it. It was all in good fun ,but it got old pretty fast driving it everywhere. I didn't mind the kids so much as their parents. To many dumb remarks from  people I guess.Funny thing nobody noticed it's the wrong year by a long ways. I may re do one someday. Maybe a different version for the kids. Nascar? Or maybe Horus the Hatebug from the TV show. Till then I wanna have some fun with it till I'm ready to restore it. I think it's gonna go back to a year 1 car if another project doesn't hold me up.
