Paint...paint..paint

The body is done! Thanks to Ralph at RCSpeedpaint.

It looks great!!! Just a little longer and the body will meet the rest of the vehicle.

Here are some pics:

A milestone day

I didn't plan to post only once every six months or so, but with my pace of building this vehicle, that may be the only way to get new information with each post.

However, there has been appreciable progress over the last few months. Let's see:

1. Most of the mechanical and electrical system has been completed.

2. The interior carpet and console has been finished.

 
3. I have an Alberta assigned VIN...so the vehicle is a real vehicle...but not registered.

4. The vehicle is being painted today (February 10, 2013) by Ralph at RCSpeedpaint and should be ready for the chassis/body mating ritual in the next week or ten days.

5. I found out that the new regulations in Alberta require that the vehicle have a full "salvage" inspection to ensure roadworthiness and safety, as compared to the past "Out of Province" inspections.

6. Bill, one of the FFcars forum members, and an experienced builder(2 roadsters so far) came over and had a look at my chassis and had some good suggestions.

So, looks like this baby will be on the road this summer!

Next update will be the completed painted body on the chassis.
