"A whole lot of shaking goin' on!" and some of it was for the flat black paint to ease inside the Oldsmobile grill.

Looks great. Did you remove the bumper & grill to do that?

I tried, John. But the assembly has some strong glue involved. Forget it!

Good one, Richard! I have seen the title of the song and even the claim as being the first, but you have the details. I'm sure we will all run out to the record store and find the original 78.
