Brad and Mark had said that my tub would be going to the dipper's late last week or early this next week. I haven't heard for sure, but this comment from Brad in another thread leads me to beleive that it is already there.
QUOTE(Brad Roberts Posted: Mar 20 2004 @ 08:55 AM ) Nothing "latest".. until the dipped tub comes out of the solution some time next week. Here are some pics of the work done prior to dip.

Hey Gint, I saw your car up at Brad's a few week's ago. Didn't recognize it, had to be told it was yours. Neat to see it back in this area.
Sorry, I don't know where it is currently. Hope they don't leave it in the tank too long (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

I squeezed an update outa Brad. In a different thread he said:
QUOTE MikeG. Your tub was last seen heading north on a flatbed. I can't wait to see pics of a nice clean, dipped and primered tub. There should be a lot of swiss cheese lookin' holes in it. |

I was behind for several weeks. It took me longer than I thought to get the welder wired into the new shop. The tub was ready for dipping ages ago but the door bars where not welded in and then the dipper wasnt ready for it. Finally the planets aligned and we should have a dipped tub ready for repair very soon. Mark shot pics of it on the trailer but I dont think he has posted them yet. I'm personally very close to finishing up some lengthy projects. This will allow me to focus on some of the new projects that have arrived.
Hang in there Gint. We are now starting to feel at home in the new place. Air compressor gets wired in this weekend. B |

Thanks Brad. I'm glad to hear things are calming down. Appreciate the update. I really can't wait to see what comes out of the tank.

QUOTE Nope. Where are they? I'd love to see 'um That would be me, I think. Pictures are here: http://www.914world.com/members/markd/mike...es6/mikes6.html. This one was literally brought back from the dead. It's hard to believe it's the same car I started with. Mark will post pictures of the completed paint job soon I think. I'll eventually post more pictures of the restoration from disassembly to the completed car. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I'm ready! What's the word on the dipper? Is it there yet? Dipped? Soaking?
Thanks for posting the link Mike. Looks great. |

Ha ha.. its tough to work on 4cyl cars when you have 3 more conversions lined up and two factory sixes coming in for 3.2 engines...
I just havent finished the info LB. These full blown resto's are growing on me. Lots of fun. Time consuming.. but the end product RIPS. B |
