We had a break in the rain and pushed the body in tonight 11/7. The pan assembly is well on its way, suspension and steering assembled. Pedal assembly and Porsche brakes tomorrow.😛

Came out soooo good! Can’t wait to get a pic of it in the sun to really show off the color! Travis, come down and take a look! I would be good to see ya. Who else is coming down? Jesse? Dario? Jeff? Bubba? Will? Maddie? Glenn? Anyone out there? I hope I can see some folks before I leave CO! We’re kicking ass! Moving forward as best we can! I cleaned more hardware tonight in prep for tomorrow! Franz’s orders! 😁 haha

Unwrapping it like Christmas! Christmas came early this year! Paint looks so good. No need to buff.

Paint came out soooo gooooood…. It’s sooooooo flat…..  Only paint job of the year for me so far…. nailed it… 😎  Okay… three more removables to go…. Then time to get some parts painted… hinges and mounts and shit and dash parts and you know, the rest of the car…8-)

It’s probably going better without all the extra help.. I hate to admit it.. but when we have to explain how we want everything, and where everything is or this or that…. it just gets in our way of doing our best fastest work… So.. Thanks, but Thanks for not showing up.. 😎   You guys know what I mean..  The three of us and Cole… Can work in Symphony!!!  Thats exactly why the 26 day wonder went so well.. 😎

I was thinking this morning.. THIS is the KCW experience everyone wishes for..  The dude ranch that everyone would like to be part of… an awesome 2 week build…. But I can’t guarantee this experience for everyone… a lot of has to do with the participant too…. 😎  😎  😎   The machine’s output is directly related to the input it is fed….. 😎  Something to think about today….

 

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎
