patient update

before:

now:



Still waiting for Chuck's finned lines:

Should be running today, then over to Kevin's for paint.

patient update??? That was quicker than it takes most shops to do daily drivers! My Honda was gone for 33 days and it was nothin' compared to this.

Looks very nice. Silver looks so good! You're keeping it the same color, right? Full re-paint, or just the pieces?

You know, while I was at TRE a couple days ago, I dashed some holy water on your car. Hope you don't mind.

It's not a 996, silly rabbit. Couldn't you have annointed it with blessed oil? Now I'm gonna have to do the dead chicken thing again...

Are you gonna choke the chicken to kill it?

BTW, repair looks great.....

[thabaer]

What... not keeping the built-in accessory mechanic in the earlier photos ?

Looks very clean anyway, waiting to hear how the stiffening turns out.

and would somebody please talk Dr. Mark into keeping his chicken in his...

All I had was baby oil with me; it wasn't the annoiting type.

fast yes ... it was afterall rather expensive. Actually looks first class from here...good job.

[Jack Olsen]

What's getting painted? Just the valence, or was other bodywork damaged?

No wonder this worked out so well...... http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=571&ncid=571&e=5&u=/nm/20031219/hl_nm/health_cars_dc_1

I was up at TRE today, and the repair is FLAWLESS close up. Really impressive work.

I thought silver was the hardest color to see during dusk and dawn.

Ok, I'm so stupid! I just realized you meant patient as in Medical Patient. Duh!

valence, rocker, and...umm....some other part are getting painted. Nothing else needs it. Well, the doors have some fogging clearcoat, but I'm not going to worry about that.

O.K., she runs! And the Elephant Racing finned lines and Carrera cooler are installed and bled. It's being loaded on the flatbed as I type, on it's way to Automotive Innovations for the paintwork.

Then likely on Monday back to us for the final mechanical tidbits.

We're ahead of schedule!

TRE ROCKS!

*sniff* I'm gonna cry...

Well, I'll really cry when I write the check, but WHO CARES!

Its starting to look better than new! Di d you make a decision about going to wider wheels? I just fitted 1" spacers at the rear & 1/4" at the front of my SC (w/ 6&7x16). It looks worlds better.
