Bill,
Do you plan on driving it again this summer? If not then why not wait until the fall
and shoot it then. I could hardly stand it when mine was gone for 4 weeks getting
the upholstery done, so I know how you feel.

The answer is, YES, I plan on driving it at the Indy Nats in early July, hopefully around the Brickyard Track!
So I want to go ahead and get the painting done in time for Indy.
I need to get busy!!!

Re: Getting ready for Indy . . .
Spank, I drove mine around in gel coat and primer for three years before painting it. I'm glad I did, as I made several changes in that time that would have ruined a final paint job. Don't worry about painting it... get the mechanicals, electricals and suspension right, drive it 'til it feels right, then paint it.

Amen to Lee's comment. Drive it Bill, I think it's a beauty just as it sets. A real bug killer in my book
