Steve K. has finished with the second primer and the frame has been painted satin black.  Tomorrow I go to Steve’s paint shop to reinstall the fiberglass which I took out prior to having the car media blasted. I like to get the fiberglass back in before paint to minimize any possible damage that could be done after the car is painted.

A big step as it’s now in primer!.  It’s a lot or work to get it to this point, and now we are awaiting Rob’s color choice. Steve K and Beau did a great job.

Today I went to LA to my favorite plater and I made a stop at AC Global MFG. in Southgate, Ca. As Rob’s car needed a new AC condenser I thought I would go to source and see how they are made. I love old working factories with the sounds and the old machines. Davis Cabrera the owner who took over for his Dad gave me a tour. Then stopped at Steve’s to see the progress on the body. It was looking really good with even gaps all around and ready for primer tomorrow!!. Come on Rob, we need that color choice.

The test stand is ready to go for engine testing next week.  It’s always a thrill to start the engine for the first time and hear it roar to life.

The engine is almost done and and looking gooooood!

The metal work is finishing up and now to the next stage, surfacing.

All is moving along as the metal work is almost done, the motor is about done. all the interior is done and most of the parts have been refurbished and all I need is a painted body.
