Default So big news (for me) I plan to have the car DONE by DATR. Caravan anyone? :-)

The guys at AR Design have been working hard on finishing my car and it's all in primer and hopefully will be painted by the end of the weekend. I'll be assembling it during the week (it takes a week!) and it should make it's debut in the Avalon booth at DATR Sunday the 23rd.

Along those lines... anyone interested in a caravan down? I know Brian usually heads down early with a group so I'll probably be doing that. Is anyone planing to join that group?

I'm coming up on two years since I started this project, and I can't tell you how stoked I am to be nearing completion. I just wasn't finding the time to get it finished and AR Design sure came to the rescue as most shops don't want to touch a project a customer started. Many of you have been super supportive and I know would like to see it done. So make sure you find me at the Avalon booth, I'll be the one with a silly grin on my face! ;-)

Thats going to be sweet!

I am still on the fence about entering the autox (money & time). If I do I'll see you at the show.

I was going to do the auto-x, but decided to put it in the show. Wish I could do both, it would be awesome to see how it would do on the track!

That's awesome chuck! I can't wait to see it. I know it's been a long haul, but it's going to look just great.

After all I've been through I'm too excited to sleep! It's been quite the journey, but it's going to be a great looking car and one of a kind. Can't wait to see how the color looks when laid down.

Car is getting sprayed today. Pics tonight perhaps? We have a shop in Littleton. I've been busy cooking up some new products in the Lab

I don't paint, we have a guy that does.
