The newest car to win the ridler was a 49 Chevy "M-80" build by HotRod and Custom Stuff. Here is the link.

The Sniper never competed for the Ridler.

Hi All,

I hope you have all had a good thanksgiving. Mine was great, except for the fact that I started a flame war over at 3.8. :-)

I stumbled across a stupid comment that someone made about a year ago and just had to respond. It must have been the booze talking (I had just finished a couple of glasses of a nice zinfandel followed by a couple shots of grappa), because I normally would have just ignored it. Anyway, I should have let sleeping dogs lie. I would have been better off hitting a hornets nest with a stick.

Anyway....

The car is now in the booth awaiting sealer, color and clear. While we were starting to apply the sealer, we started to get a few random fisheyes. It appears we did not wipe it down as good as we thought we had. So now we have to sand out the fisheyes and wipe down the car again. This time doing it right. Oh well. Wayne just got into the office so it is time to get to work.

Catch ya'll l8r

Hi All,

Color is going down this very second. Looking good so far. :-)

Hi All,

The clear is going down as I am typing this. Lots of new photos at the website.

**syborg tt** · #**159** 11-26-2005, 10:27 AM

looking good - can't wait to see it in person

Hi All,

The paint is down. I need to help Wayne prep some small pieces that are yet to be finished. After that, all we (Wayne) have to do now is wet sand everything with 600 one last time, give it two more coats of clear and the painting is done.

Right now, I need to go wash off the liquid mask (we coated the engine bay and chassis with a spray on liquid mask to keep any stray overspray off the completed areas of the car).

That is all I got for now.

Catch ya'll l8r
