JCG Restoration & Customs Project Blu Balz

[Cris@JCG]

No Blu yet! I am behind schedule.. We had to block & primer the car two more times till if felt it was good for paint.. The boys have been @ it all week.. They even came in @ 6 AM this morning to get the car undercoated & painted on the underside.. next paint the interior & trunk.. then paint firewall.. then the top dash.. wet sand & paint.. Tuesday! I hope..



We got all our parts from powder coating yesterday.. Gotta thank Kevin from Pacific Coast Powder Coating.. He picked up all parts last friday & delivered yesterday..

I got the A/C compressor adaptor block from my machinist today.. he made them out of stainless & aluminum.. options for which one will be easier to make.. Notice that the service port fittings are threaded to mount on top..



getting ready to send all machined parts out to hard anodize..

Schaa-wing! Love those machined parts Cris! I'd p-coat 'em clear and call it done.

Also admire the floor bracing under the tunnel that the subfr connectors run through. Combined w the vert brace is one slick set up. Nice job all around Boss...

Cris,

I would think it's got to be way more rewarding putting this rolling jigsaw puzzle together using parts you designed.

Thanks Ron! I am sure we will be using some of these billet pcs on your car.. We have set a batch aside for clear or black anodize aside..

Skip I am so damm anxoius to get this thing assembled! It will be nice to proof all designed components ASAP! Got a new salesman starting in the next few weeks.. He will be marketing & selling JCG components with a few handful of vendors components.. I just don't have the time to market & sell.. got to much going on with running the business, projects & designing components.. Next position I will be trying to fill is a project coordinator to help with projects, parts list, & wrenching on the cars for final assembly.. I am going to have a very hard time giving that up to somebody else.. but need an extra hand in that dept..

Plus you oversee all thrash barr-bee-q's, right?

Like the (unfinished) movie title says...'Something's got to give'.

We will be a feature car for HRIA( Hot Rod Industry Alliance).

Gotta thank Rick Love from Vintage Air & John McLeod from Classic Instruments!

Let the SEMA crunch begin!
