Off to The Painter

  After many shake down runs, and tweaking things it's ready for paint.  I talked to quite a few places in Reno.  Most weren't interested in the work.  Most that were quoted $10k.  I talked to one place that did boat work and they were around $8k.  So after a lot of looking, I decided to get a hold of Ken Pike in Yuba City.  He's basically thee northern west painter for factory five cars.
  So I bit the bullet and my father in-law and I loaded the roadster up and on a U-haul trailer and drove over the hill to Yuba city.  The Tacoma did surprisingly well getting it up over the hill.

  When we got to Yuba City Ken helped get it unloaded and I told him what I was looking to have done.  I had made my own fiberglass hood scoop using the plastic one that came with the kit to make a mold.  I explained that I wanted that scoop bonded and blended in to the hood and Ken said no problem.  He gave me some good ideas on paint colors and showed me some samples.  With the car and half the money down we were good to go.

  Ken said it would be roughly 3 months....
