Brunton Stalker XL #22 Build

[toedrag]

Repainting complete. I went with metallic blue & metallic black. After I got the car stripped down, I was amazed how much rock chipping there was on the rear fenders. Once a little more time passes for the paint to cure, I'll put some paint protection film on the rear fenders (EDIT: I fixed the rock chips, in case that's not obvious).

 

Once the weather is a little nicer, I'll take some better pictures.

 

Finally starting the car today, after sitting silent for two months, was music to my ears.

Brit, Beautiful new paint job on your XL. What are your thoughts on how much you are going to ask for that beautiful car and trailer?

[toedrag]

Thanks, Bob. I hope to have that figured out in a few days.

Do let us know here. It is a little early in the "season" for our type of cars but hey, if there is a Cyber Monday-Sunday price, you never know? I have never built a car but your build process looked pretty methodical from what my mostly untrained eye could perceive. It looked like you powder-coated the frame early on in the build after fitment of the fiberglass which I think is considered a best practice.

Yeah, the timing of my listing will likely exclude the northern half of the country. I'm not in a hurry (no fire sale price ), and might appreciate the opportunity to continue driving it until the spring when the buyer pool widens substantially.

 

That's correct on the powdercoating sequence. I completed the entire car, then took it apart to have the frame & suspension bits powdercoated, then did final assembly.

Repainting complete.

 

Brit,

 

Looks great...but I was really partial to the 'Chalker' look for the top. :jester:

LOL - Thanks. It took way too long to sand all that chalkboard paint off. :smash:
