The frame is now at the Powder Coaters, a Satin Black was recommended by the painter. It will be a baked finish.

It was nice to see the silver soldering at all the joints before painting.

Most of the drive parts arrived yesterday, removed from a CRX4 before an upgrade. Thak You Rachel!

Not any more, I gave up on that after the Water Board demolished the brick/tille garage and compromised the foootings under the house. I am using two rooms of the house as a "shed".

Eagles or Dockers?

Hi George
