Project Checkbook - 1971 Jimmy Custom

[mx289]

Hi Dave.

It was great to meet you and Ron as well and thanks again.
Jimmy #1 will rise again.(I actually have it back to its original yellow).

Your jimmy is looking better and better.
Glad to see you will keep it Ochre.

Soon enough you will be enjoying a cruise in it.

Thanks Tom. It was a pleasure to meet you and Justin as well and it is great to hear you are already resurrecting #1. Can't wait to see the build thread (hint hint). You'll have to think up a good clever name for your project.

Gi-normous milestone today: paint! It's a 20 foot touch-up job, just enough to coat all of the repaired and primed areas and protect my bodywork investment. It sure makes things look a heck of a lot better.

Here is the touch-up paint job with the tape and masking material removed. It doesn't match exactly, but it is hard to recreate what ochre looks like after having been baked by the New Mexico sun for 43 years....

Off to the mechanical shop soon for a complete examination and overhaul in order to lift the Jimmy up to "roadworthy" status.
