Hi Rick, that's a wonderful idea!!! Still need a lot of stuff plated and the more you have the less it is, also what about your interior? We can make a run to Bill & Steve's and see if Steve will give us the Bro deal on all the small stuff. Engine parts? Who's gonna help with your build? Definitely, let's get together !!!
Bob.

I have some stuff that needs to be plated... I haven't decided what I'm gonna do for bumpers. I have at least 2 sets of blades. I don't think I need much for the interior. I'm gonna have Zach do it for me. I'll need all the rubber. I need most of the motor parts. I'm gonna talk to Dave Rhodes about building the motor.

I apologize for taking so long to get these photos processed, Bob. But as you know, things have been um... interesting, shall we say?
Without further delay, the top side of the pan is painted black and it's looking really good.
By the time I'm done typing this, we're hoping that the underside will be painted, as well. At least that was the plan, the other day, when were all at the shop. Front end and transmission are done. Now, we're gathering all of the remaining parts that go on the pan at this point. (brake lines, blah-blah-blah)
So, in theory, we should be sharing pictures of a rolling chassis in the near future. STOKED! On to getting more primer on the body and related parts is also in da werks.

Sorry, no pics to share right now... but a small update. This morning, we picked up the parts needed to make the pan a rolling chassis. While at Bill & Steve's, we ran into an old D.K.K. member from the '70s, Ken Chandler. Mr. Rosique, he was in your club before that. Said that he remembered you, too. Small world, yes?
When we get the pan completed, we'll be sure to post up some pics, here. Hope that you're all having a great weekend.

Today, is pretty dismal at the shop. After hitting my local skatepark for an early sunrise session to beat the heat, stopped by for a peek at everything. Still sanding and priming the bottom side of the pan Trying to get rid of the signature lines (water in the air lines, maybe?) from the previous attempt to shoot.
The transmission and axles have been shot as well. Need to remove the masking tape on the nuts, boots, etc. Too hot to work, today. Going home to enjoy some sun and Italian birra.
