The last month has been catch up time for CRC. At one point we counted over 25+ cars lined up waiting for work, and we were overwhelmed, stressed and taking too long on customers work for our tastes. We whittled it down considerably and are focusing our efforts on the long term projects; MGB V6 swap, AWD big turbo Eclipse, and getting started on the 300ZX LSx swap. In the mean time, our own projects collecting dust, literally, needed to get out of the way to make room. So the I put 2 long nights into the Ducati project. The frame was up in storage, forks and front wheel in the office infront of the desk, the engine on a tool box in the shop, 3 rubbermaid bins full of the rest of the bike all over the place. It was not only a mess, but it looks very un organized to customers too. So we cleaned up the place and we busted ass on the bike.
here is the frame, since this is the powder coating thread. i will make a new build thread for this one and document it there.
Dropped mike off a pair of 19" caddy wheels. Once he’s got those done in tuscan black, gonna get the fronts done (since I didn’t want to buy a full set of wheels I just got a spare set of rears and its gonna be a juggling act till its done). Then ill have a spare set of rears and throw some rubber on em for the track
I got the powder last week, but havnt had the time to coat it again. I have to scuff the first attempt and wipe it down with DA, then shoot it in the new color.
I have been shooting powder just about every night, in addition to working on other projects just about every night. We have a set of Focus SVT wheels getting done Mirror White. A set of Enkei bike wheels done in Tuscan Matte Black. A set of Toyota 4runner wheels in a Kingsport metallic grey. 19" Caddy wheels in Tuscan matte black. A set of Audi A8 wheels in Harley black pearl, set of 17’s in a candy pink, another set of 17’s in who knows what color, a turbo compressor in Sunblaze Orange and the hot side in a chrome color ceramic coating, S2000 calipers in florescent pink, calipers for a mustang in mirror red, calipers for a camaro in mirror black, knuckles and suspension parts for a camaro in red metallic, 2 valve covers… and more.
Pics will come as I get time to take them and post them. A small chunk off that list is already done, but the only pics i have at the moment are the bike wheels that just got mounted.
