Beer shower to celebrate 200K - Had to buy a Colorado beer - Coors Light - the Silver Bullet for the ceremony. The Kaniget is kind of a mountain goat and the only mountain beer outside of Tonopah Arizona was Coors Light. I don't actually drink it - I am a Coors Extra Gold (best $0.50 on the planet) and now Yingling kind of guy

Trip to White Sands NM and Space Museum in Alamogordo. One of the old volunteers at the museum knew Werner von Braun and told me all about him for about 30 minutes.
Von Braun's evil creation in the foreground. I think one of his US space rockets is in the background http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1330529837.jpg Beauty and the beast. The Kaniget is the beast for all the crazy things it can do;) http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1330529917.jpg |
Only stupid people from out west where it snows and there are dirt roads have two AWD roadgripping beasts in the driveway in FL;). We might as well have two stupid SUVs that eat a ton of gas and be the typical family;). Oh wait, the Kaniget is an SUV! At least the rainbow is nice:) Check out the Ibis in the background!

Day 8: Hood rust- Looks like I will need to weld in some serious patches here
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1330532339.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1330532362.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1330532393.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1330532420.jpg |
Day 9: I was able to get the battery boxes and fender attachment rails cleaned up and painted. I used Ospho to remove all of the rust and painted only on clean shiny metal with the PPG DP40 Epoxy Primer. I like keeping the car mobile so that grinding and stripping can occur on the driveway which is easier to clean up than the garage.
