Hot rod Cat up at Ross lake resort in the North Cascades. This is one of the boats the resort owners use to transport people and gear from the trail head to the floating resort. It flys!

Nice Ronin, I am currently sitting on an Airbus 340 going from Japan to Germany and surf the web. Then this picture. I was afraid they would ban me from using the free in-flight high-speed internet.....

Thom,

I wanted to ask if that was the Michelin Man or the Pillsbury doughboy painting your car but felt that that was a little too rude so I won't.

That big guy is Manny Yarbrough, He is from the same town as I. He is a few years younger than me. A few years ago he was the World Champion Sumo wrestler when he was in Japan.

Who is the confused-looking fellow, Byron? I hope you washed your hands. Afterward.

Thom,

What type paint are you spraying the Ghia with? Two-stage enamel? Lacquer?

I'm voting base coat clear coat...
I once shot a 73 VW beetle (this was in 1998) with catelyzed acrylic enamel, using much the same setup (sheeting over everything, respirator, tyvek suit, gun running off my air compressor)....that's tough work, I'm incredibly impressed with Thom's results!
