Default Got off my butt

Well I got off my butt and started to strip paint on car, I know this going to be a real job because my car has three different colors off paint on it, I have got most of paint off car and now on with the hood, hood does not have as much paint on it, but needs some repair-- take a look-

Wow man, you're doing good so far.

You think you'll have it all ready and painted for the show season this coming summer? I hope to see you at the Corvette Cup in Columbia this spring and at the lake when they have the big Dragon show and the monthly dam shows.

Hi BOJ,
Looks like you're having lots of fun.
I like the blower case sitting on the work bench like a paper weight!!!
Regards,
Alan

Matt I dont think it will be ready by spring unless I win the lottery but I will be at the Dragon show, my brother has a 55 Nash Rambler that he is restoring that may be ready, he also has a 59 Rambler that we are making into a Gasser later down the road, he lives in Linn Creek, he and I like old school stuff

Hi Alan yes this is really a lot of fun and a little messy, there are two 671s on the work bench getting ready to make a two four carb plates for them out of aluminum. I am going to build a blown motor for the vette but will not cut the L88 hood, will get a different hood to cut up, so for now just going to paint and drive the car, the 350 that is in it is pretty healthy anyway, but a huffer is so COOL-JON-
