Hehe, I'm the same way, I even stopped by yesterday to check on it and the frame was hanging sideways on a big rack, ready to roll into the booth. Dan was having a hard time making them understand that it didn't need blasted again, and I wanted to make sure they didn't screw up and do that. They didn't blast it and were taping off the holes when I got there. I told them that we were going to retap all the holes anyway, so let the coating go right down into them.

They said it might be done today (Friday) and when I asked about all the other parts they said all of them were in the oven right now, letting the final clear coat cook. So it looks like we might be able to get everything today, or at least all of the small parts.

Have to pick up a piece of carpeting to pad the trailer with, so that will give me an excuse to stop by and maybe be able to get some of the parts out of their way. Dan plays tomorrow, but if all goes well Sunday we can start bolting this thing together.

I ain't never paintin' another part in my life!!! I just picked up the loose parts we took to the powder coater and man, are they nice!! We couldn't have painted them to look as smooth and glossy. We had the extra step of having them all clear coated on top of the black, and it really made a difference.

The frame was baking on the final coat when I was there, so we can probably get it later on today. Can't wait to see that thing all done. This is so easy.....drop off raw parts and then pick them up all done and ready to install. Why have we been wasting our time spraying this stuff all our lives?

I had to pull a little of the wrapping off to see what the parts looked like, but I left most of them for Dan to unwrap. But here is a preview.
