It's been a while

I have a wonderful lighting designer, Mike, arriving from CA who will be assisting in making the entire lighting design come to life! He will be here on 11/18, so I hope to have some initial design sketches available before then.

Other than that, she's been sitting in the garage without much work being done. The switchpanel is basically in need of redoing, and all the fluids need flushed out and replaced. She won't pass inspection right now, and there is a lack of headlights to contend with.

I've tracked the battery drain, though! Remember the DVD player turning on when the car starts? As it turns out, the wiring must be a little wonky as the DVD player is the source of the drain. I have plans to cut the wires and rework how the power will continue.

The paint has been postponed due to, as we all know, financial stress. A low economy makes for projects like this difficult! However, I'm pulling out of the stress and have been in the garage looking at her again, becoming more and more inspired.

That being said, the Dream Team has been adjusted.

WELCOME

Mike is our lighting designer and electrician. He comes with an extensive background in theater lighting, and will be an excellent asset to the Dream Team with his innovative approach to design.

Brandon is our Show Veteran and has been the mastermind behind many award winning show cars. In fact, he has a plan to make the electronics perform much more smoothly that I can't even begin to describe.

GOODBYE
