I was gonna say "Looks good for a dipshit" but bit my tongue (til now)

Posted by: johnlush Nov 4 2004, 12:00 PM

Well I think it looks great despite the fact that it has lived the past several years of it's life as "the village bicycle"! Way to go DipShit!

Posted by: brant Nov 4 2004, 12:10 PM

I LIKE IT...

Good job, looks great.
Keep it up. I wanna see top coat photo's too.

Is this the car with the droopy headliner, that I froze my butt off in several years ago?

Looks way better now.

What I want to know is how they get those doors and hoods to levitate like that. Pretty "Star Trek" if you ask me.......

Posted by: johnlush Nov 5 2004, 08:45 AM

Same car! At least when I towed you there was a windshield and top. When I towed Mark up to the hangar the other night it was ~45 degrees and raining!

Color's going on today!

Posted by: brant Nov 5 2004, 09:11 AM

I'm sure John will get better photos tonight of the finished top coat, but here's more great pumkin progress.

The Great Pumpkin could quite possibly be the last thing painted in this aircraft booth - sad, so sad!

Awesome photos. A paint job is always kind of an "instant gratification" kind of thing. It looks incredibly different so quickly!!!

Posted by: McMark Nov 5 2004, 11:07 PM

Looks great! Keep us posted on the progress of reassembly. I'm doing the same process right now!

Posted by: dgw Nov 6 2004, 01:53 AM

Less than a grand for a good looking car, sounds good to me!

But the first time I was in it I was thinking "parts car". I was freezing my ass off though, so that might have influenced me.

You two enjoy a when the paint is done.

No, you rescued one and made it beautiful again.

she is beautiful
truly a work of art.
can't wait to see it in person!

Well it's been quite a while since I posted photos. I've been driving this A LOT with old sail vinyl and no sail trim (looking pretty ragged). Over the last weekend, with the help of John Lush, I installed new struts, shocks, sail vinyl and trim.

She also got new rubber just the other day. MAN ARE THESE FUN! The shocks and rubber made a huge difference and I ripped around town on rails last night.

FUN, FUN, FUN!

Thanks Gustl, I will work on getting a better photo with a digital, rather than working from a video.
