....so much for my custom painted body from Andy, it came back today.....UNPAINTED!....with no explaination... I am a past customer too. Going with plan B....got a guy at my local on-road track that does some custom work for himself, gonna see if he'll paint it....if not "the diamond one" will do a simpler 80s paint scheme on it.
Also, that motor wasn't suiting me either, I have a secret weapon coming for it, only option in this situation but it's on a slow boat

Joe Neri (brain dead designs) in Cali is a good dude too. He did the rc10talk giveaway body and is just wrapping up a GWAR body for my no prep car 🤘👹🤘

Man, that's weird and disappointing. :? It was gonna be bad-ass! Oh well, I'm excited to see what you have up your sleeve.

Maybe there's a paint and masking tape shortage. Dang pandemic! Keeping all the cool projects down!

....or it's the emperor's new paint job. I can see it! It's beautiful!

Did the 20% discount draw you in as well?

I'm paraphrasing but the Thumbinator put it something like this one time...."my pants are gettin' tight."

While I have no problem with Smirnoff vodka, I highly recommend that you try Tito's.
