I try and cook once a week for the two guys that work for me. It's funny.... Everyone assumes I have several employees.


Me-- All fabrication, suspension and paint and body (when time allows) All PR, emails, phone calls, social media (about 80 hours a week)

Tony-- Mechanic (avg 40 hours a week)

Bob-- Helper (avg 20 hours a week)

Andrea-- Wife and does books. At the shop about 2 hours each week. Works from house

Well, no color today. Paint shop ran out of toner for the base. So hopefully tomorrow.

But more cleaning and prepping.

Burger and brat day too.

More prep and laying color in the morning.

Had Dingo visit for a few minutes when going over to the Customs shop.

A little color and clear today. Should get more down this weekend.

More progress.

Pretty hard to beat this finish right out of the gun. No cutting or polishing yet and it won't take much for a superior finish.

Out in the morning sun.

Windshield for this one and two other builds arrived.

New NON-lockstrip glass gaskets arrived.

*************ON A TECH NOTE... For all those that plan to remove doors and not beat your head against the doors re-aligning after the fact. I drill two holes (sometimes 3) in each hinge before removal. This allows the door to be installed almost identically to the way it was removed and previously installed. Huge headache and timesaver! **************

Cheers!
