Well Jim, today we took Dan's rod for a little spin............Ok, I'm lying, we took the FRAME for a little spin.We hauled it to the powder coater this morning and Dan spent some time with them explaining what he would like done. I had to run to work, but he called me later and said it should be sandblasted by tomorrow PM for pickup. That will work out pretty well because I tracked the Drylac stuff and it is due for delivery tomorrow too. If all that happens we can spend this weekend grinding and filling the frame and just maybe have it ready sometime next week to go back for the color coats.
Seemed funny following it down the road this morning, it has never seen daylight. Dan wanted me behind him because he was afraid someone would rearend him in rush hour traffic.I pity the car that hits that frame, it is one heavy Momma.

Whohoo! This is inspirational! I'm as excited for Dan as for the rest of us. It will be great to see the frame when done, and see Dan driving along side you guys in his rod. I too am working on painting the frame riht now but just with por 15. Unfortunately the wet weather is here making it hard to do! Keep posting." "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

I hid the sawzall.
Picked up the frame today on my lunch hour. It is all sandblasted and ready for us to do some grinding and maybe filling this weekend. The Tiger Drylac stuff came in today also, so we should be ready to rock and roll. Problem is, the entire can is in German .Guess I need to go to their website and see if they have directions in English.
The powder coater would like it back by Thursday of next week so that it doesn't start rusting on us.
