Car sent off to the paint shop

Well, I've sent the car off to the paint shop. There's still body work that needs to be done and they will do that plus some finish up wiring. A shop that is about 1 hour south of here in Mansfield will be doing the work, House of Hot Rods and Classics. www.txhouseofhotrods.com/   They have a fairly big operation where they can do mechanical, electrical, body work and interior plus fabrication. They have a  backlog of work right now, so it may be a while before they get to me but I wanted to get into the queue.

They were coming to pick up the car on Wed and we decided it would take two trips to get everything down to their shop. The truck driver was supposed to be here at 10:00 am but showed up at 1:30 pm instead, never seems to go as planned. It was raining in the morning so I covered the car with tarps, but by the time he finally go here the rain had stopped. With the trip down for him being an hour and then unload and come back up it looked like it was going to be a two day affair to come back and get the body parts. But he ended up showing back up here at 8 pm so we loaded up in the dark.

So I probably won't have a lot to post on the car for awhile. I also imagine there will be a lot of honey do list headed my way now : )

                 Second run to take the body parts. Got a little late into the night.
