Spoke too soon!
 

Well, most of you saw my new paint pics. Upon further checking tonight there are some issues in the paint and without writing a book it's going to need to be stripped and re-painted. I will paint it this time, I've learned my lesson! :willy:

Jody

Sorry to hear it
 

Jody,

Sorry to hear about your troubles. As the king of do-overs, I know what you are going through.

Good luck with the re-paint.

Thanks John, I appreciate it. I was disappointed that I delegated this part of the build anyway, now I get the chance to make it right! But it seemed like the smart move at the time, being as it was in the 30's temp-wise and he had a heated paint booth versus my un-heated shop!

Jody

That sucks Jody. How much time is this gonna set you back? Maybe you should run the Lightning on Power Tour. You could call yourself Charlie's support vehicle. :D

There's an idea! Or maybe drive the Malitude for Charley if Mark can't make it! :yes:

I see no way to make it now, this will cost me a month if I'm lucky.

Jody

I hear ya
 

I'm working on my 3rd engine plan these days. I've been ripped off on 3 different occasions trying to get my engine together.

Back to paint: mine is finally going in for paint in a couple weeks, so your troubles combined with my previous bad engine luck has me a bit nervous. But I'm hopeful for the best, and I've talked with them many times. So it should go ok.

Does this put a big damper on your power tour plans?

jp

I don't see any way I'll make it, but time will tell. I'm still going to go though, but I doubt it will be with my car.

Jody

That's too bad to here. Perfectionism sucks don't it. I might have been driving my car years ago if it wasn't for my disease. Is there a short story version?

Mike

Simply put............sorry jody.
What a disapointment.Do it right and do it your way, the right way.
Your humble fan,Chris :hail:

Wow, Jody, Tremendous Bummer. My offer still stands :D
