Back to work
Amidst everything going on here in Orlando, we decided to try and get some more accomplished on the racecar while things were in "waiting mode".
This morning, we arrived and pulled the rear end and 4 link out from the car to get ready to spray the rear clip. Josue (painter), was not able to come until the evening, so we used the time to sand, clean, and prepare the surfaces. Once that was done, we starting cleaning the grime off the parts so everything will be like-new upon reassembly and getting the sheet metal ready for the powder coater tomorrow morning. That plastic they use on sheetmetal is a PAIN to get off!
Its 11pm, and I'm in the office while Josue finishes spraying the interior. I think I'm high on paint fumes, but I'm super excited because its actually starting to look like a decent car again! After the interior dries overnight, they'll be prepping the exterior for paint. I feel helpless right now, because there's not much I can do, but it'll be back at it once the paint dries trying to assemble it for the PRI!
