After 7 months of proving ground daily driving with virtually zero issues it is time to rip this girl apart and finish her off with a nice body off media blast, block to perfection, base coat, clear coat, 3 stage wax, rebuilt and powder coated hardware, new weather stripping, new head liner, and a bit more sound deadened, weather proof under coating to the bottom of tub and floor panels... HERE WE GO!!! Stay tuned :)
 
I somehow lost contact with your thread, Josh... Just caught up... Great job, great ideas!!

I first 'met' Josh when I was looking for a 40... Almost bought one from him... he was VERY honest and VERY personable... And was perfectly willing to share his vast knowledge and give great guidance to someone who could have easily been swayed... He never tried to sway me... I ALWAYS appreciate honesty above all else!! Anyone considering doing business with Josh is definitely in for very pleasant experience!!
 
Hi josh
Now you can put the frosting on the cake I know it will look good. BTW I have moved from grass valley to Richvale. I am in the process of building a new shop have plans going to plan check in a about a week or so. Hopefully I can get moving quickly before the rains and get it put up. Size is 24x34x10, never big enough but it will have to do. Thinned the herd down so the current project 40 to 45 hybrid and my running 45 is all the stables are holding and that is ok. Will try and get up to see you soon and chat.

Regardless of the size shop, a new shop is always a great shop :) Absolutely come on by some time! It would be great to catch up on cruiser talk :)
