DeTomaso Mailing List: January 2001, Message #230

All:
Decided to give you a quick update on #2428. Unfortunately, the painting
schedule is slightly behind. In all realistic planning, I won't get her
painted until the end of Jan to mid Feb. But no matter. the following
has been done (recently) to #2428:

-Front trunk completely stripped, cleaned, rust removed, prepped and
POR'd
-Passenger side rocker panel cut open, crap and dirt removed (dried mud
that caused the rust in the first place), cleaned, prepped, POR'd and
soon to be welded shut (sometime today when the POR dries).
-"Porkchop" (holding the gauges and switches) completely rebuilt (new
piece), reswitched, refinshed, and rewired
-Dash sent to the upholsterer.
-One group 4 light bucket construct (from scratch....yes, I said
scratch!). Working on #2.
-Driving lights being constructed. Material already received and being
worked on.

I expect to have the car done by at least Easter (at the very least the
paint) and the wiring finished before April (POCA meet
time....hopefully).

So that's about it. Best regards to all. Now back to the work. Dive dive
dive!.....
