Well, we drove the car last night, ran great. Plenty of power, but with the 40's it's not rocket ship fast. Should be a nice driver, just have a few bugs to work out and put seatbelts in and she will be driving it. Yesterday she was just a passenger and she had an ear to ear grin  |

well, bad news. Yesterday as she was driving home from school, the rear wheel came off the car, I've been meaning to check and make sure they were tight, but have just been crazy busy lately, totally my fault. bent the rear bumper, dented the left rear quarter, and broke a big chunk out of the inside of the wheel. needless to say she was in tears  . It's all fixable, and hopefully get the majority of it done this weekend, but what a bummer. Ill post some pics later |

Hey Randy, that is bad news, but the good thing that nothing worse happen and that your daughter is ok. Besides in a weekend or two, you'll have it all back together again. Just double check everything thats all. But I am glad she is ok.

It's a shame, but it's one of those things and at least Becca is ok. I remember being really excited when I had my first set of decent wheels for my first bug (polished Empi 5's - oh the shame...) - my brother and I rushed to get the wheels fitted and each of us thought that the other had checked the bolts. My brother went off down the road at 70mph, pulled into the next village and the front wheel fell off as he slowed to a halt. One ripped front wing, several pulled inner wing captive nuts, and one scuffed wheel! Lucky it happened when it did and not 30 seconds earlier!  |

Ouch ouch ouch.... Mark is right that paint should blend really well being so fresh. How about the Rivi? Do you have another at the polishers now? My guess is shes rollin next week. And you did an awesome job on that bumper hole. Wow. You are a great Dad Randy.

I bought to sets when I started, 4- 4.5" & 4- 5.5". Sold a 4.5" to Danny's girlfriend, kept 1 for a spare. And have 2 extra 5.5" already polished, had all 8 done at the same time. I will drop the bumper off at the chromer after work to get straightened and rechromed.
