Default The Lettering

Thanks Greg !

Instead of cutting the letters from decal material, like she did on the first two "Born Again" Birds, TJ decided to paint the letters on this car. Turns out that the paint I bought was too thin, requiring several coats. So, she stopped, til next week, when some better paint gets here.

I think I mentioned this earlier in the thread--not sure. But this car was raced by a friend we call "Oogene", after a puppet by that name, on the Gospel Bill TV show. His real name is Eugene. So, the name just seemed to be a natural fit, to us. He told me that I had originally sold the car to him, along with a couple of parts cars, tho I didn't remember doing that. Anyhow, glad to have the old Bird back. It's just sorta cool.
