Stinking Success Within Our Grasp

August 2, 2010 (late evening)

We can barely believe we got this done in 9 weeks. It was a stinking mess when we got the car and now it is all snowy white under its first coat of primer, and it has been to Thunderhill twice, and nothing has broken or blown up. Granted, tracking it helped us find things that needed fixing, like oil leaking out of every seal of the transmission. But, we have a car!

We'll be bringing a few cases of spare parts to the track with us. It seems very unlikely that we'd be able to find parts at and auto parts store or bone yard.

The car will be yellow this time tomorrow, and sporting decals on Wednesday.

Looks like our t-shirt plans are bust and I'm not doing well getting Pratt&Miller to sell us crew shirts. We might have to fall back on disco/porn king Corvette sleaze for costumes, which would work for a standard Corvette, though probably not for this car.

Make sure to drop by our trailer to say hi. Thanks again for the interest and support. Seriously. THANKS.

So snowy white, so clean, it has come so far in 9 weeks!
