I was using some of my old beaverboard drawers for firewood Friday night, and one of them said TUF-FLAKE on it.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxGEVIvSFeYPainting wings with Lex's new brother, Loki guarding the fresh paint. He came up from Alabama to help on this Compact and be Lex's new brother. If you look real close at his expression, you might be wondering if he is guarding the fresh paint or is he really making plans on how to get his paws on them and make new white paw prints on the porch. (second option for sure) If you look on Wiki, you'll know why his name fits him so well! LOL Loki was also the name of the spirit inside the mask in the movie, The Mask. Bearings, races, drums, brakes all check good except for the brake adjuster springs are rusted/broke. This is very common and should be checked yearly while cleaning and re-packing bearings. When these springs rust, they bust in half and drag against the drum causing damage to the drum and shoes. If they dig into the drums deep enough, you'll need to turn the drums or buy new ones. Almost ready to shoot the curb side white. It is the last side to be done. I usually like to shoot the whole thing at once but due to schedule and multiple color laps, I didn't have enough time to shoot all white at one time also due to drying times of colored stripes on sides.

Loki looks like a really cool little dog. Huge ears. What type of dog is this little critter?

Totally cool and way too smart for 11 weeks.
Lemon colored beagle.....brat....LBB!
I have read lately that the beagle's ears are to hold scent while tracking. (and to hear snack bags ripping open while sleeping)
Years ago we used to be a Rotty family but the beagles are cheaper to keep and the campgrounds won't turn you away with a snoopy!

Good thinking! All you need to do now is put a ball cap on him.

Great paint job, Soup! But aren't you setting yourself up for trouble by naming your dog Loki (the Norse god of mischief)? We have one named Nisse (after the little Norse elves that cause trouble if you don't leave them treats) and haven't had a moment's rest in 11 years!

LOL
Yes but more about the name Loki....
He earned it!
When I looked up Loki in Wiki, there was so much info I had to quit reading, very long story. LOL
I like the name Nisse!
Too cute!!

Then when it gets really cold here, he has his own winter coat he likes to wear, besides the fur one he wears all the time LOL |

www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m48GqaOz90BOOM BOOM POW! Here's some pics for ya! Same stripe on side as from factory (sorta) Not stock wings but better than no wings. Painted in color with nod to the past "Z". Colors ended up being; Gloss White Base Body Gloss Exotic Sea (teal) Gloss Frosty Berry (pink) All new exterior light assemblies, stickies, external water & electric ports too. All trim polished up, but still haven't trimmed off all the putty tape yet. Still cleaning and painting stock license plate bracket. Still doing some odds and ends. I hope everyone likes it!

I thought I had been behind schedule but it looks as though I started this thread on 7/29. I guess for what has been done, it was pretty quick really. |
