Lookin very good, can't wait to see some action pic's...

Lady Di · « **Reply #274 on:** Feb 27, 2005, 10:28:58 AM »

we got the body sanded and prepped this morning.
MrWilly is now in the "paint booth" getting ready to get color on it as we speak.
Too bad it's rainy out, maybe the sun will come out this afternoon and we can take a good look at the color on it. It's going to be blinding!

Hey Rockhoppa! I can't wait to MAKE some action pics!

Lady Di · « **Reply #276 on:** Feb 27, 2005, 10:41:09 AM »

He's got the epoxy primer on it.
Whew!

My head is spinning just being out there to take a picture. PHEW!

Lady Di · « **Reply #277 on:** Feb 27, 2005, 11:15:04 AM »

ACK I'M BLIND! MrW got the first coat on it, so I went out into the garage to check on it! WOW! That is YELLOW! and that's only the first coat!

Lady Di · « **Reply #278 on:** Feb 27, 2005, 12:23:27 PM »

it's hard to get a good shot in the garage...but here it is, this is the third coat ...lemon chrome yellow, it doesn't get much yellower then that, that's the tint yellow...Mr. Willy is going for a fourth coat in a minute.

Lady Di · « **Reply #279 on:** Feb 27, 2005, 12:28:09 PM »

the color doesn't look right in those pictures. I dont nkow if it's still raining, hopefully we can get the door opened up and get a shot in natural light.

That does look sick.

Really cool, cant wait to see the contrast with the black

mudaddict · « **Reply #283 on:** Feb 27, 2005, 12:52:18 PM »

man that is a bright yellow, you will stand out in that one!

FATB0Y · « **Reply #284 on:** Feb 27, 2005, 01:31:36 PM »

DAM THAT"S YELLOW

Lady Di · « **Reply #285 on:** Feb 27, 2005, 03:48:42 PM »

Thank you!

The sun never did come out enough to get a real good shot but we got it on the frame. Mr. Willy's posting the pics shortly!

Now that it has color you can really envision it coming togethter. MrW has to do work to the fenders and hood, I'll get the body work done on them and get the grill stripped, those are the only original body parts. And we should have them painted next weekend! WOOHOO!

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE BODY ALL TOGETHER IN YELLOW!! I wasn't sure about the color but with the black, and chrome it is going to look SICK!!!

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #286 on:** Feb 27, 2005, 03:55:25 PM »

We got it outside and I'm not sure the camera can actually duplicate the color, but here it is.

Lady Di · « **Reply #287 on:** Feb 27, 2005, 04:06:15 PM »

it's yellow!

DUDE! It has always been a dream that we would have something Peterson's worthy! We've subscribed to that for MANY years. I didn't even think of it but you are right.

We are meeting about all their criteria for a cover shot!! AND thanks to the Marlin site we have a running log on the build up!!!

We have got to send them the specs on this when it's done and find a Petersons event to go to. YOU ALL ROCK!

rock lights! I assume that has nothing to do with music. We've got so much to learn!
