I think you will like what we have put together. We just want to get that first issue right. It sets the tone, so to speak. |

She is silver now. Just waiting to have a little of the details done, and then it will be time to bring her home. Photos soon.

Back on the silver car. I decided I have to finish one before before I can start on another. Finishing up the floors. We should be ready to paint them next weekend.
Scratched the fender. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Very minor. Just an abrasion scratch with sandpaper too close. Tell me it will buff out (it is basecoat/clear coat, after all). Please. Tell me it was bound to happen eventually. Tell me it is just a daily driver. |

Wow. I like base/clear. A little 2000 grit and a little buffing and the tiny scratch can't be found. Very nice.

I got the hood, trunk lid and engine lid back from wet sanding and buffing, got them installed, and adjusted. Time to paint the inside pans, build the engine, and put it back together. We may make Parade.

I decided to go with a Web cam and gear (stock grind), and oil pump from European Motorworks. The cam arrived today. When John (BFR) gets back from the Indianapolis Vintage invitational races, we will build the engine.

I finally finished stripping the floors. Osphoed them yesterday. Painting them tomorrow, along with the trunks. Then, finally, I can begin putting the car back together.

We painted the trunks and floors. I think they came out pretty good. I can finally start putting it back together. Oil pump should be here today. Web cam arrived a few days ago (lifters on the way), but, I forgot to order a new cam gear. So that is on the way now. I think we can be driving it by August 11th. Whoopee.

I am so glad to finally start to put this thing back together. Today I put the rear taillights in, and 94 emblem and hood crest on. That was the fun stuff. Now it is time to do the rest.
