During the off-season (well, ok, at the last minute prior to the start of the 2018 season) The Twin (aka "Weldo Plasmoski", aka "not Dan", aka "B-Dawg", my wingman Barry decided it was high time to put some fresh red and white on the ol' pig. So I obligingly dropped 'er off at his house so we could begin prepping. Now, if you know Barry, you know that he doesn't do anything half way. Me, on the other hand, well...that's a different story. So...after about 20 hours or so of both of us sanding, interspersed with a few bouts of minor body repair, I declared it to be ready for paint! Mind you, it ain't as easy as just sayin' it to B-Dawg. Remember- he does nothing half way. I had to repeatedly say "it's just a race car". And "it's good enough for who it's for:! Shoot, at one point his wife came out and caught him massaging on it after we had called it good. Even she had the mantra down: "It's Just A Race Car", she told him!
On the following Monday we rented a paint booth at San Luis Customs, and Barry laid down a stellar paint job, bringing the tired old pig back to life! While keeping the theme the same as the prior red/white combo, we kicked it up a notch with a brighter red and a whiter white. Oh yeah, and there is a little pearl action in the red. It came out pretty darn good, if I do say so myself!
