Ronny doing his first offical burnout in his garage. Need some headlight lenses so we don't have to bunge them on, but we are on schedule to go to paint by the end of July. :D

The idea is black/green with blue pinstriping. Should have some pictures of the finished paint job by next weekend. :cool:

single stage or two stage with clear coat?

Two stage is a lot easier and better than single. Only the econo joints shoot single anymore Earl Sheib, Macco etc.. With two stage the base dries quickly and is easy and fast to work and re touch.

Yeah, but single is easier to polish, compound, and rework in the long run. IMHO. Glad the K5 has single stage, has been easy for me on touch up repaints over the years as the mid 80s GM paint was such high quality.

Great Job Dennis and Ronnie!! I think Tobbun is going to have to work real hard to win Wild Gen 1 at Lightning Fest 2006! I think I will be cheering for the Green and Black truck this year!

I stopped by the shop today and the guy that is painting the truck says the color is crazy in the sun. Ronny will be back in town on Friday to pick it up and we should have a few glamour shots by Saturday. Green was Jordan's favorite color so Ronny picked out the actual color and the signature was how he signed his artwork (sample below).

We liked the two-tone scheme on Tobbun's truck so it is similar, but different. Those two trucks sitting next to each other will be interesting looking. :cool:

I look forward to getting them lined up together...

Either in the parking lot, or the track... :)

Can't wait to see the finished project.

Looks much better in the sun, sweet.
Front bumper looks like about 19/64ths low on the passenger side though ;)
Good work and congratulations on the progress.:tu:

What would be really KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! is to decide to drive Pop Eye to Lightning Fest with the other Gen 1's that will be escorting Jordan 7 up there. So far I think it will be Sixpipes Black 95, Ronnie's 93, Tobbun's 94, Hopefully your 93. If you can do it, I will drive to Texas instead of going direct to Kansas City. That would be 5 Gen 1's and there is another couple in Talon. Think about it!

Actually, you were pretty close. More like a quarter of an inch, but got that corrected today when we added the spoiler. :cool:

My Microsoft Frontpage was goofed up, but I think I've got it fixed now. Maybe I can update this weekend. :D
