    Took the last week are so off from working on the Baur, been getting our other cars ready to drive… put the four half shafts ends back together yesterday…first one took over an hour to get all six ball bearings captured… the second and third ones no more than 5 to 10 minutes and number four was another 45 minutes… it’s right up there with the heater box as far as being a pain in the ass.

    Tuesday drove engine w/ head attached/aluminum intake parts/front brake calibers a few other miscellaneous parts to San Antonio to get dry ice blasted, new process for me. I can’t wait to see how they come out. Spent the afternoon assembling the front and rear subframe’s

    Ok, that was an April fools joke… my car won’t be to that stage for a couple months. That Baur is a 74 just like mine painted in Verona red just like mine belongs to a fellow Robert Gutley in the Portland area introduced to me by Mike Pugh he is a few months ahead of me on his project. He was kind enough to send me those pictures, and I thought it would make a good joke. I’ve been making good progress on Friday My college-age helper was able to come help me reorganize the shop after sending the car off to the painter. We also dropped the seats off at the upholstery shop, having them done with the black and white pepita houndstooth. Today I replaced the rubber in front subframes/rear control arms and put second coat of paint on them… planning to start assembling on Wednesday. tomorrow I’m taking the aluminum engine parts to get dry ice cleaning….

    My son Ellis is remodeling his house, He needed room in his garage so he brought his car out and he is storing it at our house, so I decided to take it for a ride this morning…. I haven’t driven the car in about five or six years since I gave it to him. I forgot how well it drives.

    Today was a day I’ve been working for a couple of months to get to…250 man hours on my part / 40 paid helper hours and about six k in sandblasting/repair panels/paint/welding supplies /misc…to get to this point. I sprayed Eastwood cavity paint into the hood and trunk before loading it up and transporting it with Greg Resa’s help to the painter who is in a small town about 75 miles away…

    Working my way through a ton of little small projects the last couple of days trying to get the car ready for the painter on Thursday of next week… when you glass bead blast a car, there’s an area in the center of the hood /on the trunk lid and the roof of a regular car that you can’t really bead blast for fear of warping the steel… the hood ended up having three layers of single stage paint. I had to use the side grinder with a sanding disk to get it off the chemical stripper would not touch it. Spent better part of two days working on the small trough that catches water that bypasses the canvas roof and funnels it down to to catch basins that drain it out in the wheel wells Misc. repairs…
