Acceptance!

We have cleared a significant hurdle on our mission. Last week we were notified that we have been officially accepted into the Kershaw field. If the old saying is true that “you are known by the company you keep”, then surely our reputations took a serious blow by being linked to the crazies associated with this event! Invigorated by the news that we had a ticket to the dance we started to paint. Well more correctly, we started the process of painting. Keep in mind that The Wrench is also a master painter, it took some effort to lower his standards to LeMons level. Some concessions had to be made by both sides. The rest of us conceded to throwing some Bondo in some of the bigger holes, while he bit his lip and looked the other way when we did a half-ass job sanding it. I know there are going to be some people questioning our sanity in putting Bondo on a LeMons car, but REALLY – If we were sane would we even be doing this? We did all of the prep in about one day. Anyone who knows bodywork understands that one day of prep work is only marginally better than no prep work at all. The car has been primed and ready for color later this week. We’ll be painting it a glorious K#$%^A Blue.
Once we got the news of our acceptance we selected our car number from the ones available. With a concept like ours, how could we pick anything other than “13”. We also did some work on our concept regalia but we’ll hold that until after the paint is complete.
