Of Course We Must Have A CD Player While Working. Everthing is getting painted unassembled and all the body fabrication is completed. That's why it is all apart again. Progress as of 8/28/05 |
Finally it's painted. All the many hours of hard work are starting to pay off. We probably just have another 50 hours to go. |
Everything that is going to be red is painted. I will let it sit for two days to cure up and start the assembly. Progress as of 9/15/05. |
