Hey everyone...

Thanks for being so patient. Got in to LA earlier today. Had a 1 hour delay on takeoff and it was POURING rain at the airport. I mean like 8" - 12" on the sides of some roads. Crazy.

Anyway, met with a west coast customer we have earlier (yeah - technically this is a business trip) and heading over to NRE around 6:00 (Pacific Time) to start on some high boost pulls. Looking forward to it. Hope we don't splatter parts all over... ha ha.

Will post some goodies later tonight assuming all goes well.

Thanks for all your patience...

On as side note I did find out they used 3 GALLONS of paint on the undercarriage. Damn that's a lot of paint. Makes for a pretty doorstop.

speedster,
Glad to hear you arrived safely on your "business" trip.

We'll save you a beer and a piece of pizza.

Well you know they gotta make the underside look good so that when you jerk those wheels about three feet in the air, everybody can oohh and aahhh the paint job... not the fact that the fronts are three feet in the air with a 4000 lb car...

3 gallons of paint.. + primer/sealer as well as clear coat, I assume.

That's a fun job sanding.. especially underneath. Lots of angles under there. I'm also assuming the rest of the car's suspension was taken apart to paint it correctly and minimize overspray on parts.

Somebody had fun for a month... or 2 somebodies for a few weeks.. LOL
