And it's red. Finally red. We put on four coats of the Kosmos red the first day, then 3 more after a thorough night's dry out on the second. Everything sprayed out perfectly and my guys made me a jewel. In the pics, it's a pretty red. In the sun, it's stupid bright. Like looking at a neon sign. The white base was worth it to say the least. Here it is in the booth.

Once home, we split it off the chassis an disassembled the components. The frame is headed to powder and the rear end to a rebuild in the morning. Gotta get all the suspension ordered ASAP!

When you said in 2012 it was off to paint jail you weren't kidding. It looks like it was worth the wait.

Now get that NABB in there.

Thanks guys! It's been in jail for almost 18 months. It's never been a priority in our shop so I can't complain......,but I will. Lol

We are gonna push hard for Del Mar next spring. It's a long shot but we are gonna try.

Got the engine/trans in the frame last weekend. I also finished all of the Lizard Skin application of the inside and outside panels. That stuff is amazing and super easy to apply. Once we paint the firewall this weekend and hang the suspension on from Ridetech, the body will be ready to go back on. I'm getting pretty excited!

It's a roller! The Ridetech stuff came in and went on last night. I used the stage 2 system since this will be mostly a cruiser with maybe a GG cone session once or twice. All of the brakes are Kore3 and are what I feel to be THE best brake system I have ever used. Everythinng fits perfectly and the instructions are perfect for a dummy like me. Thanks Tobin! The Ridetech gear was easy to install and fit the chassis great. The finish on all of the products they sell is top notch- from the powdercoat to the Fox shocks. Steering and ride height aren't set yet as I need to see what happens with the body on it. I gotta paint the firewall Sunday morning and she's ready to go on Sunday afternoon!
