Boy, we're close now. The interior was finished today and is ready to be clear coated. However, we ran into a little snafu with the Clear Coat, it dissolved some of the paints, particularly the bronze color in the cockpit, it really looks antiqued now. We may look at another alternative for that finishing work. Spray would be better, but that would mean having to mask out all of the non-spray areas again. Who's up for that? The bumpers and the driver side got clear coated, the bumper foam was also finished with a black enamel. The rear door on the outside was finished although parts had to be scraped down to the primer and repainted because of the poly-run. Additional glass beads were added to the passenger side after we scoured the floor for additional stones, so the stones don't stop at the driver door now, but rather continues back. The dog leash holders were put in; the cockpit frames were untapped; trim work was addressed on both the inside and out; detailing on the inside of the windshield and dashboard was done. It was a pretty productive day. Those who participated on this last official day of class were: Randy, Kate, Amanda, Kaitlin, Sarrah, Lisa, Pasqualle, Samantha, Steve, Julie, Kristy, and Annie. Laurel started her new job, but she'll be on hand this weekend. I don't know what happened to Ben, Adam, Nate, Brent, Jamie, and Rebecca, but I'm hopeful they'll be there for the big finish this weekend.
I am going to put together a punch-list tomorrow, a list of all the things that need to be completed and resolved by next Wednesday. I'll post it here and run it by everyone in an email. We're looking at a 12:00 gathering on Saturday, en masse, to address a lot of things to wrap up at Mellwood. The more the merrier!
