San Diego is beautiful. I spent a year out there in the Navy myself. Old Navy pal coming over today with some chicken to grill. Maybe my brother, too. First half of the day is us putting the house back together. Enjoy the day, everyone! bp

Us, too! Had a bunch of meetings today. A bunch tomorrow, too. Friday is clear so far! But then Monday and Tuesday are packed with meetings in preparation for me to be off for three days! As I said before, the US Government is working around the DLNs! bp

Just got home from installing OEM stripes on a 70 Boss 302. Yea, that's right OEM stripes, the owner has had them in the box for over 30 years. They stuck, but the transfer tape stuck to the stripes. Took 4 hours to get them installed, the old vinyl was a pain, rolled up & the transfer tape looked like 30 year old newspaper. You can see the transfer tape stuck to the stripes in the camera phone shots, forgot to bring the camera. :|
If you look close you can see a little yellow in the background behind the car. That's a 2013 Boss 302ss. In front of that car is another Boss 302 2011 or 12. All 3 are set up as road race cars. The 70 is street legal the other 2 aren't.
I get to put stripes on the white Boss, 2011 or 12, when we get back from the DNL's. It got put into the tire wall at the track & needed a little body work. :oops:

Nice. I can't believe they were still in good enough shape to do as well as they did! How are you going to fix that? bp

The transfer tape just has to be peeled off or rubbed off by hand. It's no problem, just time consuming. The car it'self has 3,500 actual miles on it. But they did a complete ground up resto on it anyway. It's cleaner than it was when it came out of the factory. Bottom side is as shinny as the top side.

That's great on the tape... gives them one more story to tell about the car. They came to the right guy! bp
