Three to Go!

Originally from August 2, 2010

It's Monday. Three more days until Thursday. Thursday at 5 PM we'll be at Thunderhill to camp and get a good spot in the paddock when the track opens Friday morning. Friday is test/inspection day, Saturday/Sunday is for racing. All that is left for us is paint and the splitter, and reassembling the dash/electronics. It looks like we're going to make it!

The car is sanded but needs a little more prep today, mostly some bondo and sanding on the nose, plus sanding in the doors and other tight spaces. I wish we had more time for this part of the project.

The archeology of the sanding reveals - blue, a thin layer of brown bondo everywhere, some white bondo in patches all over, blue, cream, then metal.

Decals are being made now and we should have them tomorrow or Wednesday.

Metal, bondo, bondo skin, blue 1, blue 2, cream... Opel archeology!
