Default Back Together!
Well after getting back the chassis from powder coat after modifying the location of the trans crossmember, I got the chassis back together this evening.

The weather should be cooling off soon, and I can get the body painted!

Very nice. My earlier prediction that you'd have paint on it by October might not be that far off. I'm planning a Hill Country trip this month since my daughter is now living in San Marcos. I think a visit to the estate is in order.

Bryan,

Come on by, you know the way!

Got the car jambed today and all the underhood fiberglass painted.

As soon as the weather cools a little. I will get the main paint on. Even being careful, I still dripped sweat in my paint today. It is just too damn hot to paint!

Regards, John McGraw
