Spent some time blasting your tin yesterday…  it is sooooooooooooooooooooooo greasey….. it’s like blasting mud sometimes..  we shoulda cleaned it before I blasted it.. but it’s working out ok..   after I do some paying work.. I’m gonna finish your tin….  Corporate, aka MOM, is degreasing that dirty ass engine… 😳

I need to get real freakin serious about getting this done… Zack’s gonna be home in like 2 weeks or so.. 😀  😀   I’m excited to see his face when he gets here.. 😀

YES!!!!  plans have been made… This will be Zacks street cruiser / highway rig….  Going to switch his tin to all doghouse.. and heat ofcourse!!!!  I want his heat to fucking crank!!!   😉    If Zacks wants a baja… we’ll just have to build him one.. 😉  😉  😉

I guess it’s time to decide what I am gonna do with the outside finish… Buff it up…. or sand and clear?  It seems like if I a gonna sand and clear.. I might as well just paint it ruby red and patina it… or spend a few extra hours on it and paint it nice???  I didn’t want to do that… we only have about 20 days left to finish this rig..  and yes.. I want to be done in 20 days!!! Thats not an option.. 😀  😀  😀  I have a Vert I need to paint also… 🙄  🙄  🙄  🙄   so…. I think a buffaroo is probably in the future.. hell Corporate could handle that… 😉

Ordered up a whole pallet of Empi goodness. Fuchs, tires, lug nuts, 2″ beam, tie rods,  brakes, headliner, visors, running boards, body rubber.

This is going to be sweet to watch  this one transfer from a beater backyard bug forgotten for the last 25 years to a kustom built cruiser. Zach the girlz are going to be all over this rig!!
