Waiting on paint guy!

[chopthebass]

Been living in my garage the last 11 months and now it's gone for paint and I don't know what to do with myself! It's hell!!

Hopefully there will be enough summer left to put a few miles on! :cool:

How long do you expect it will take?

[David Hodgkins]

Congrats! Where did you send it? ETA?

[chopthebass]

I'm using a local guy in Calgary. This will be his third FFR. No idea how long. He had had it for two weeks.

That's a great color combo Don!

Thanks I have to wait another couple of weeks for completion, one more sanding and clear coat then final polish. With all of the other issues that cropped up in the area of electronics, fuel leaks, brake issues I'm finally ready to put the body back for the final time!.

Don, don't forget to post finished pics! I'd be interested to see.

I will do it. I see you are from Alberta, I lived there for 28 years in the Edmonton area, then got transferred to the Fort Worth area in 1999. When I was a teen in the 60's my family lived in Calgary and I drag raced my 650 Triumph at a drag strip that had only a flagman, I still have the trophies. That day I won bike eliminator and then raced car eliminator (66 Hemi Charger) and won the Street Eliminator trophy but no money. I have a lot of family that still lives in Calgary and Olds.

Don, no longer a drag strip in Calgary! Its a real shame, but the plan is to find a new location and build a new one, along with a tarmac racing course. Some pretty cool history you have their! Drag racing on two wheels would scare the hell out of me!!
