    If you're running out of time I can send the cooner's over. They are getting pretty wired over here with nothing to do. And they don't sleep at night anyway.

    I think this is the wheel specialist. As you can see....He's ready to go!

    Just an update.

    I'm finishing up all the wiring tonight. The airbrush guy worked all weekend on the lid of my trailer and we should have it tomorrow. There is two more parts to paint plus the lid needs some clear and paint. We hope to have that all done tomorrow too.

    I didn't get to check my valves but I'm not to worried about it, I'll do that when I get back from Daytona.

    I was going to have some goast spyder webs and spyders in the black but we ran out of time on that too. We have a few little things we want to do when I get back to finish the job but for now it's looking pretty killer.

    That's to offset all the times you said "Where did those bolts go?"

    Is your painter a jokester? He might have thrown a few extra bolts in your pile of parts just to mess with you....

    Not to worry...he doesn't actually READ it! He just uses it to put small parts on so he doesn't lose them!

    Worked to about 11 last night and started back up at 4 am.
    I had somewhat of a issue with my turn signals and it turned out to be just a matter of pluging my dash back in. That was driving me nuts.

    I still have a problem with my licence plate light not working. I'm not sure whats going on there yet.

    These pics are taken with my iphone so they're not that great but it is starting to look pretty good. Can't wait to get to take some good pics when she's done.

    That is looking really, really good. The gloss black looks much better than the flat black!

    Well yesterday didn't go as well as planned. The right side is put back together all except the pipe. I replaced the two Y pipe gaskets but the gasket on the 90 was shot so I cried and begged Magic Man to send me a new one because I knew he was the only supplier I could count on if I asked. It should be here today. Magic Man is the Man

    Got my trailer lid back from the airbrush guy late last night and it was terrible. When we decided to paint the trailer at the last minute we called the other painter to make sure he could get it done in time. He said that he could and to bring it on by. What happened was the guy that was going to do the artwork forgot he said he would and went out of town for the weekend. The owner was so ticked off at the guy but tried to keep his word and get it done himself. He worked on it all weekend and all day yesterday and when we call he said he didn't like it. When we went to pick it up we could see why.

    Long story short we are now going to sand the whole lid down and repaint it black to match the trailer and we'll do the graphics later. I really need to have my trailer for the week. I hated to tell the guy I didn't like it and I hated to have to ask James to paint it again. He has gone above the call of duty on this project.

    The good news is I am getting to wire up the No Magic Neon lights that I've had sitting here for about a year.

    So at this point I may or may not make it down on time but it's not for lack of trying. I get about 3 to 4 hours sleep each night and the old bones are starting to feel it. I'm doing all my internet work while I'm doing this and of course I have issues there I'm dealing with too. This has been a long week and I'm ready for some R&R.

    Good... can't wait to see it!

    Do you, by chance, need a free windshield?

    We got the Spyder mostly done. He still has some detail work he wants to do on the paint job but because of the trailer problems we flat ran out of time.

    As it stands I'll be trailering my Spyder down to Daytona but it will be ready to ride when I get there. Looks like we have snow and freezing rain heading my way and I don't feel like driving in that with a new paint job. I hate to have to trailer my Spyder but it's the smart thing to do at this point.

    I have a bunch of little things to do today and I'll try and get some pics of the paint later on.. it looks great.
