well,i been in the garage for a while and finally got peggy to try on her new legs.now this is by no means a full restoration,but just a good cleaning and very little touch up. if you remember,here's how she looked when i got her.  and here is how she looks today!!  now maybe she wont win the kentucky derby,but i think i got a pretty sweet horse here. btw. dupli color "pure white" and rustoleum cherry red were used for touch up.thanks KZ!!

Very nice job, Mick.....glad to see her looking so spiffy once again. And a "Righty" at that, much more difficult to find than the "Lefties".

Looks good Mick, WELL worth the price you paid. Very nice job, Mick.....glad to see her looking so spiffy once again. And a "Righty" at that, much more difficult to find than the "Lefties".
Richard I looked at several previous pics and the last several pegasus' I've seen, they are ALL Rights, I believe it is the Left facing that is the seldom seen one.

Betty Grable passed away two days ago, not from old age, but from finding out, after all of these years, that her legs just couldn't be as nice as Peggy's
