    Man, I forgot what a tough crowd this was.........I feel like the Rodney Dangerfield of hot rodding.

    Yeah, I did get a little head start on this project, it was just very helpful that this body just happened to fit the chassis we already had so well. I think I might be able to bring this one in under $ 3,000.00..........that is if I am able to keep mooching free parts off of my Kids. I think they think I am on my way out, they are being VERY nice to me lately.

    I'm sorry I missed most of you at Billetproof. I kept commenting that we spent the entire day walking around there and didn't run into anyone we knew. I was hoping I would see Hotroddaddy or Jolietjake because I had that front spring I wanted to give to Jake, but I had no idea what he looked like or what he drove. Gastrick later told me Jake owns the cool Chevy II gasser, and I did see that car, but didn't realize who owned it. I did see Jim Robinson's coupe, but not Jim, and I totally missed Bill's Deuce for some reason.

    BTW, in case you haven't heard, Bill (Gastrick) took Best Hot Rod, and that was no small accomplishment in that crowd. There were a lot of cars first of all, and secondly, many of them were top notch. Congrats Bill on a very well deserved win, your 32 is just plain bitchen.


    As for the powder coating, I'm willing to give it another shot, but NO MORE CLEAR! Dan almost has his frame ready to go back, he skimmed on a second coat of filler last night and this weekend he plans to get the sanding all done so it can go back for the recoat. As you can see in this picture he has been pretty busy sanding away. The one good thing is that the frame should end up better than the first time as he has now sanded it so many times. All that dust on the floor is about $ 200 worth of Drylac filler.
