That other guy named Ed and DVs CRII build

[Double Venom]

Et.Al.,
Remember this stage?



When I attempted to bolt the hood on the "internal" steel plates came unglued resulting in the entire front inner hood having to be cut open?

Well time for the trunk...all in the 1st stage of primer, fitted, aligned and ready to bolt on.......Right...once again the main steel plate (for the latch!) let go, causing the entire section to be cut-out, new plate made (the original one wasn't even cut right nor drilled right), glued in place and the entire asembly refiberglassed back in place.




Cpteddie, the light is my gift. Auto on/off when the trunk lid is opened/closed. At this point whats a little more glass work?

At first I was telling the guys to be very carefull bolting up the hinges front and back...well now I say test the plates and make sure they are secure before painting!
(I have found out since the hood nightmare that DON was NOT responsiblefor this poor asssembly but it all goes back to Leisure Industries/IMAR.)

Maybe now I can get it in final primer-wet sanded and striped!
Sigh....better now than after delivery. Cpteddies a big guy!!

WOW!!!

Thanks for all the hard work DV!!! See you on Saturday around 11am your time.

Forgot to tell you about my "small world" encounter. I was talking to Larry Johnson (Serpent Express guy) about the possibility of getting some custom lettering done on my trailer and he put me in touch with a Larry Adams at Corp Signs in Ohio who does all the signage for the other Larry (one to many Larry's in this story) So anyway... Larry in Ohio says "sure I can make you some custom signs for your trailer" and oh by the way "if your going to LCS I'll even put them on for you" Great guy, great deal!!!

He then asks my what kind of car I'm building and I come back with a CRII roadster. He then says "oh nice car" and "i used to know a guy named Ed Combs who did a lot with Classic Roadsters" I laughed and said... ya I know DV, he's building my car.

Long story short. He asked how you are and hoped you make an appearance at LCS this year. He also said "make sure you tell Ed I said hi!!!"
