10-4 on that.

I was up to Ankeny today to see Dusty (Randy) and the race car.
It's going to be a nice car when finished.
Can't wait to see it painted.

i thought it was painted. when i saw the photos i said to my self Rapid finally getting the hang of this painting deal

I suppose you are going to wait until it is painted before you come do the chassis cert, just so you can see the paint before the other Draglisters!!!

you haven't called me i figured it was going to a project like the firebird

LMAO, yeah this one is going a bit quicker than that one

Let me know what your schedule is.

Should make primer this weekend. As you can see there were a lot of areas I needed to address to get this far. I still have to trim the side windows, shape up around the roof hatch and hood burst panel along with clearance the tail lamp swinger panels. The last thing I need to finish are the wheel wells.

I went down to the Powder coating joint today. Man can they do some cool stuff, even a few candies in their arsonal.

It's L king better!!!

It is never too late to learn more stuff. Roo told me if I heated the carbon fiber I could shape it and then hit it with cold air from the air hose. Then it would hold the new shape. So yesterday I gave it a try on the roof escape hatch. It worked really slick as you can see.

The roof hatch is off a big show car and had a slightly different curve than the Vette roof.

After:





I had to end up re-glassing the wheel wells due to the gel coat covering some air bubble/holds in the body in that area.



I got them all done except one yesterday. Monday I will finish it. I need to square up the openings in the hood, roof, windows, and tail lamps. Then it will be ready to prime.
