Well, for those that were looking forward to seeing Scary at Knotts this year, will have to wait for another year. I got the bad news today.
I haven't posted about it, because it was going to be a surprise at Knotts, but Scary is in the paint shop right now. They were suppossed to be done this week, but things have taken longer than expected, and they won't be done until sometime late next week. The car is stripped down to pretty much nothing, so even if they finish early next week, there simply won't be time to have her put back together before the show.
I went by the body shop today to take a look at the progress, and start to figure out if I'd have this weekend to put the $600+ worth of trim I just bought on her. The manager asked if I was in a hurry, but I said no. I'd rather have it done well, than done fast.
It's going to look awesome, though. The car is all in primer with a guide coat on it, but won't get the final top coat until next week, and then there's still the color sanding and buffing to be done.
The good news is that I'll be parking next to autoxsteve and 2bav8 again this year in the '66! ::
