No Excuse

So my son and I left Lithia Florida at 5 am Saturday and drove up to Tom's near Bryson City NC to pick up no excuse. We left Franklin NC where we stayed overnight at 4 am and made it home by 3 pm yesterday (that trip sucked!!!). No Excuse is now parked by my barn. The interior needs some TLC big time. Going to start with a pressure washer. Freezing and thawing on the top of the mountain has taken a toll on some of the glass, the paint and Kiwi grip are toast, but as Larry would say, "Aint nothing but a thang!"

I'll post some more pics of the work as it goes...

I am so glad cape man has her and will give her the care she needs. Since I broke my hip and had shoulder replacement surgery, I just have not been able to give her that care. CL used a cheaper paint on the inside than on the exterior which he told me when I picked it up and it had started to peal when I bought it from him. The mountains are hard on things that just sit and are not used.

I about cried a couple of times when Craig was here for turning it over to him do to the shape it was in.

Looks like it actually will buff out. Some sanding and epoxy primer and paint and that thing will be back to bristol.

And we know how much Cape Man loves the sanding!
