Got the bottom of the car painted today. Started with a etching primer and finished with Chassis Black. Going to let it dry and drop the powerplant in.

I'm working as fast as I can. I'm working before work and at night once the family has gone to bed. We've got some track time reserved on the 10th which gives me about 6 days to get the car done.

6 days...You'd better hope I was right about sleep.

i thought that too, but he said the car was lowered pretty good, so he is dumping it out the front.

Man, I just got back from a quick trip over to Phil's to see this beast. This car is going to be NUTZZ. First class hardware everywhere and enough roll cage tubing to build a small building. All very well done.

The major fabrication seems to be done and it's in the final assembly stage now. I definitely want to be around when this thing runs.
