Well, Hannah and I did jump out of a plane last week and it was a gas. I think Hannah will remember that the rest of her life. It was the second time for me and yes, I would do it again.
More work on the fenders. Doing some mud work with Evercote Metal 2 Metal. Had to get another quart today. Will apply more today and then some sanding. Then I will prime them and get them ready for the painter. He will do more mudding, sanding and blocking before the actual paint is applied.
Got the grandson Parker here from Seattle for a couple of weeks, so a few more distractions ahead.

More Fender Repair
Worked on the right fender which has more rusted out areas than the left one. Anyway, have all the rust cut out and new metal welded back in. Needs a lot more grinding and clean up before the mudding begins. Glad I decided to go with the metal fenders. Took more time than I thought to do the repair.
Gonna take a few days off and head to Minneapolis. Gonna jump out of an airplane with my granddaughter Hannah on Wednesday. 14,000 feet. Hannah and I have been planning this for the last 13 years. She's 18 years old now and just graduated from High School.
I wonder how high I will bounce.
These are tandem jumps by the way. We want to make sure someone pulls the cord to open the chutes on the way down. Yes, we are going to film it.
Boogie til ya Puke!

Paint Test
After talking to my friend Tony Cetta, we thought a trip to the paint store would be a good thing to look at chips. My friend Bob and I picked up Tony and headed to Quincy where the store, Jeff the painter, uses is located. Remember I had decided on Mercedes Iridium Silver. Well after looking at about a million chips I decided on a Light silver called Sun Light silver. Can't tell them apart, and it's also less expensive.. On Jeff and Tony's suggestion I bought a half pint to test shoot. We took it to Jeff and he set up an old door panel and shot the color. Jeff says silver is hard to shoot as it can tiger strip and mottle. Even so, he said don't worry about the problems shooting it, just choose the color I want. We also talked again about doing a two tone. After thinking on it for a couple of days and doing more internet research I'm back to two tone blue on top and silver on the bottom If it comes out like I think, I will be awesome.
