Scrufus gets one step closer to completed.

Front trunk coating completed and ready to get this end back together.







The light makes it look a bit blotchy but its great in person.
Now for the dual curcuit brake system w/Cadillac master cylinder and disc brake conversion.

I love the smell of epoxy primer in the morning... at least it sounded good!

Aren't personal projects satisfying compared to the ones that actually make money Kevin? It's always more fun when it is your own. No deadlines....its done when its done.

Scrufus is looking good though. Nader will be losing sleep. That's also good.

Looking great Kevin! I eventually want to do the disc conversion on our '66 Corsa.

I'll let you know when I get mine completed. I'm really looking forward to having brakes.

No pressure wondering if your customer is going to like or be all pissy 'cause he couldn't do it himself or he hasn't got the class to give a compliment when one is due.
I've found that I have a lot better attitude about the shop and business in general when once in a while I do something here that has little or stress associated with it. The Corvair and the kayaks do that for me.
