I spent the last few days tearing the machine apart to get it ready for the final bit of welding and then for the paint job. I decided to paint it myself instead of hauling it the the body shop and have it tied up there for a couple weeks. I've been blasting and painting the small parts as I've been dismantling it. Hopefully, it should be ready for a test run in mid January if all goes according to plan.

But I have a problem.....everybody who comes by the shop asks me what I'm gonna name it and I have no idea what to call the thing. So I'm looking for some suggestions. Not sure yet where I can get some decals made up, but if I can come up with a suitable name, I'll look into getting some stickers made up for the nosecone and maybe on the side windows. I'll consider any and all names you guys come up with.......and if I choose yours........ well, you don't win anything. OK, maybe I'll let you take her for a test drive once I get the bugs worked out of it if you feel like coming up here for that small benefit. Looking forward to your suggestions.

Bob, anything that's steel is gonna be red. The checker plate aluminum bodywork will remain it's original silver. I just gave the frame it's first coat of paint....probably will need at least another two coats.

Today, I reinstalled the driveshaft, tracks and rear suspensions. Tomorrow, I'll work on getting the front suspension and steering back in so that it's sitting on all fours again.

It's getting closer and closer to running everyday. I finally installed the front windshield today which I had to get done before I did the final installation of the instrument pod. Here's what she looks like with the rear monitor on.
