Thread: Roadster pickup getting closer

Tweet

A real bummer for sure, but perhaps you should be happy it showed up so soon and not after you had completely put the car together. That would have been even more discouraging.

Yep, I'm kind of a glass half full optimist, and you are right. Better to find it now than before all the other stuff was bolted on. I picked up his frame on my lunch hour today, it is back to bare metal. After we spend some time DA-ing it (again!!) it will go to the body shop for their touch.

Golf is looking better all the time.

Here, let me help you with that idea.

That's a good one Bob!
How's the weather in Florida, Don?

Hey Don, does this mean that you wont be listening to any of my recommendations again?? I've been so happy with what I had done that I just assumed that all powder coat jobs had to be good. I'm truly sorry that it turned out so poorly as it is NORMALLY about fool proof. The guy that did mine does most of the modified stock cars around here - and I've seen a couple after significant encounters with moving and non moving objects and the stuff is still stuck in place.

I suppose golf is alright for people with the right temperament. I've tried it, though, and I'm told it's supposed to be relaxing..? My ass! Golf would be a short cut to a heart attack or a stroke for me. I have never done anything that put me in a screaming rage as quickly as golf. My fourth (and last) round of golf, I got so mad I bent the 7 Iron around a tree.. and they were borrowed clubs! That was 29 years ago; never again. In my next life I'm going to be a stamp collector...

Steve, the weather has been a little on the cool side lately. Some fronts have come through and we have had nights in the 30-40 range. One thing about Florida, it doesn't last too long before it warms up again.

IC2, no of course I will still listen to your suggestions..........I still think powder coating is a good way to go, we just got a bad batch or something they did in the process. The frame will go to the body shop this week with instructions to "call us when it is all painted and nice." If it didn't need some filler to make it straight we would go the powder coating route again, sans clear, but there is no way we will sand that Tiger Drylac stuff again. Even our body shop guy said he couldn't charge us enough to sand that stuff again.

Jim: I know what you mean about golf. Even when I would take a date to play miniature golf they would always beat me. I think it was those d*** windmills.

You're right Bob. Golf looks too dangerous. I think I'll go back to fishing. What could possibly happen there??
