Cascade Crew

scott in wa.

We lost our tow vehicle so we can't be at the dyno, yep we are bummed but on a good note we got the new Ram Air hood from G&T Fiberglass for our Camaro last night.
This was the 2nd hood,(unfinished hood saved $$) It was to be here 12/18/06 but was lost, then found, then damaged, sent it back, filed claim with ups, then had another hood sent to me again.
Man what a screwed up mess,
Let me say that UPS FREIGHT SUCKS, one more time
UPS FREIGHT SUCKS !!!!
G&T were just ok, but man this thing is way late.
Now to sand and cut and finish....

I need some advice on sanding, sealing, and painting, just going to do quick black for now until it warms so we can put a really good coat of paint on.
What do I use? And how do I do it??
Iam not a painter, but could be...LOL..

Thanks
Scott

What about driving it? It doesn't sound like it's undrivable.

Get it on the freeway and watch the blms on 2-3 miles of road. Tune that section and the rest will take care of itself when you get here.

It's not that far. Hell Rod's driving up from K-Falls and last summer a bunch of us drove up to Canadia, then 300+miles up there, then back!

You can do it!

Yeah, I bet the car would make it, without missing a step. You could also plan with some of the other seattle folks, so you had other people to drive with.

Bring some basic tools and you wont need them. That's the CC way.

Yeah, you won't have any problems. This is the first long trip for mine and I know I'm a little nervous. Plus like Paul said, bring some tools. I'll prolly throw in every tool I have just in case. Laughing

Besides, if you get more than halfway down here, and have problems. We will go on a "rescue mission", I am sure if we had to, a couple of us could drive an hour north, to get you running again.

DO IT!

We will get him running if something happens.

I drove home from Cows in limp home mode once!

I talked with him last night for some time about this.
He is adamant that he will not drive his car that far right now.

But I do appreciate the above responses......
It will have to happen another time.
Crap, I should have fixed the front end on my suburban.
To late now.

You all have a great time there, Drink one for me....

Sorry
Scott
