Thanks Tony,
If the weather holds out. I'm going to start epoxy primer on the car Tues. or Wed. It's really getting cool out. I am hoping to get the car to the finished primer stage before the year ends. George is coming down on Tue or Wed. We're going to do some media blasting. The new compressor is great. I had no issues with it. The paint booth worked well also. It was exciting seeing some paint finally go on the car. I want to have it running by next summer. Looking forward to hanging out.
Hey Brady,
The bottom of the car looks great. I'll come down on Wed. PM me your address so I can GPS my way down. Be down around 11:00 am. I'll bring all the stuff.
I will try like hell to make it down there as well. I am off that day, but still trying to get a plumber in here to do a minor job for me. If I don't get it done by Wednesday I have a guy who says he'll come out and do it then. My new countertops and sink have caused the supply lines to be in the wrong position. With all my mechanical skills, sweating pipes still escapes me.
Hopefully one of the 2 plumbers I know personally will make the time on Mon or Tues so I can come out and play with you guys.

just heat the joint with a torch and stick the solder against it, (after cleaning and flux). It'll wick right in. I hate plumbing, but it wasn't that hard, if the pipe had water inside open all the faucets to let the steam out. I hate plumbing!
I got the interior, trunk, and eng. compartment painted. 2 coats epoxy primer. I tried to take a pic but it was to shiny to see. But here are two without the flash. Best I could do.
I for one really enjoy your posts. It is both interesting and inspiring, and I suspect I get vicarious satisfaction too, especially when someone else has to do all the work . Keep it up. It's a thread I always look for and read.

Progress is always good.
Keep up the posts Brady, I enjoy them and think you are doin a great job too.
