85 tahiti blue (flur continued)

Have I mentioned how much I dislike cleaning floors?

If you want them clean then you have to clean them - no way are me and the boys doing it.

(oh, whoops...for a second there I thought you were my wife)

The air compressor just stopped compressing,which is a problem. About done as soon as I get air back.

Compressor fixed and got the bottom painted.  Tomorrow I start on the paint booth. 

Did a little cleaning in the boot.

Once I get this paint booth done the rest of the paint should come together fairly quickly.  I've got some sand blasting in the engine bay to do yet and then its just a matter of body prep and the fun task of reassemble. 

[Davisio]

Ack! The dern thing be real!

I see you lurking David.  Just placed a massive order of new parts. 

[Davisio]

Ya.... I haven't looked at the guages too much yet. My time has been pretty occupied. I plan to iron out a decision today, my first "day off".

[94touring]

No hurry.  I know I probably forgot a handful of things on the first order.  A few things are back ordered too. 

[Davisio]

Ya.... Ok. I didn't look this weekend. UCB is WAY TOO MUCH FUN to be sitting in front of a computer. I'll try to remember to do it when I get back this evening. The problem is the bar and liquor store on the walk back.  ;D

[94touring]

Dang bars within walking distance.  I make my return back to tulsa tomorrow night and am determined to paint your interior this week. 

[94touring]

Masked the bottom and got it on the dolly.  Started prepping interior for paint. 

[94touring]

Ok one step closer to the exterior paint job. 

[Davisio]

Woohoo!

And to think all that gets covered up anyways, lol.

I have been watching intently. I am so excited to see her go through all this change.... But with a little sadness too.... I miss that car a lot. I made the mistake of going and talking to the guy that I got her from... and I may have found myself a "Flur 2.0" If I can convince my wife and get the funds together. Keep up the good work. I cant wait to see the color on the outside! Are you doing it all Tahiti? or Tahiti-Silver / Tahiti-White?

[94touring]

Its even exciting for me, lol.  Will have a white roof and white stripes on the hood.  I'm tied up at a wedding next week and the girlfriend the week after, so its gona be a few weeks before I can start in on body prep.  Roof and hood are easy, but lots of sanding required on some areas of the body.  Then hopefully all the parts I ordered get here soon so I can get it back running again. 

[Davisio]

W00T!

A burr wood gear knob and a cogged fan belt!

You saw the burl knob on the invoice...I didn't forget since you got dinner.

[Davisio]

That's good.
Because I had. ;)

[94touring]

Everything from mini spares has shipped.  Waiting on your dash still and gotta order the gauges.  Back in town next Tuesday to start masking off the interior.

[Davisio]

Cool.

I'm currently shopping car covers for the winter storage months.
Oh, and cool sunglasses.

[94touring]

Everyone needs cool sunglasses.   69.gif

The problem is..... all I can hear, in my head, is ZZTop. Then all I find online that I like are Serengeti's. Heh. Guess I'll actually have to go to a store.

I'm hard on sun glasses so mine are cheapies from wally world.  In fact broke a pair this week after it got snagged on a binder in my flight case.
