The guy that bought my white TII really wants to sell it now. He is only asking $3500, a good deal in my opinion. The car should be over at my house this afternoon, so if anybody is interested, let me know. Here is the link with more info...

There's SO much to do in Charleston... but as far as RX-7 stuff, there is a picnic there... check out the thread: https://www.rx7club.com/se-rx-7-forum-35/chas-rx7club-meet-june-421402/
The guy that's hosting the party said I should caravan down with some of y'all... so I thought I'd throw that out there.
I mean, c'mon guys! It's Charleston!!

Hehe
Just kidding.Yeah, guys... we could go down to the strip to watch/race/etc... I know I wouldnt *necessarily* be racing... except for some laughs, maybe... and to put some dinky Honda in its place... but yeah.
We should definitely go one night... but I will need some notice if we're gonna go, unless we meet at the RX-7 meeting, then leave early and caravan down to F-ville. Cuz I know I'm taking off work for our meets from now on!
I'm so sick of missing em!!

Christina, you are missed when you aren't there. We also miss the Barbed Wire beauty when you don't show up. Will we recognize her when we at last may gaze upon her rare beauty?
The drag racing sounds like a great time if we can get a group together. Does anyone have any info on the race track?

I will call him later this week, but i am impatient and can't wait to have at least an idea.
Your best bet is to give Jeff a call and arrange a time to meet him, he shouldn't be too far from you. I don't have his business card with me today.

bert what was his number again?
I am thinking of getting the equipment to do it myself. my dad used to run a body shop back in the 70s, so he knows the techniques and we already have a compressor large enough, as well as the gun. it would be a matter of getting some heat lamps, and the paint. it will probably be more satisfying in the long run.

Hey Guys, I have been away for a while but now back and wanted to say I have been having a ball.
My sons and I went to TOTD and stayed at the village. If you want to see some video and have a fast connection check out
http://www.carolinalights.com/galler...-Racing-Videos
Craig is in the camera car, John is in the red FC and I am in the white FC.
The following weekend, we went to CMP in Kershaw SC for HPDE. After that, I was pretty much worn out. I would do it all over again though. Most fun i ever had with my clothes on.
Hope yall enjoy the video.

For anyone that wants Jeff Brown's number here it is:
Custom Paint and Body Works
Jeff Brown
919-550-7409
He does great body work and paint is perfect, several guys in the RRDI have the proof.

RRDI Logo patch or window sticker idea
here is something I came up with over the weekend, just an idea developed from the GRR logo. The file is too large to post. Will have to download it to photobucket and try again later.

can't wait to see the seats. good luck with the project.
thanks for the info Bert. I know he does a good job. Your & Ray's cars both look awesome, and obviously the paint has staying power which is important. I guess the reason I was thinking of gearing up to do it myself, is because I am resurrecting my Fiero, and it will need a paint job. Once you have the equipment it is just a matter of paint and patience. Again, I am fortunate because my dad has about 7-8 years experience as a body/paint guy, and knows all the techniques. I will probably start practicing on the Camry. Since a perfect job on that isn't 100% important.
However, I am going to give him a call. If the price is right I might just forego tooling up right now. I might just have him do the fender until I can do the rest later.

Yes, you should get the equipment to do it yourself, and perfect the techniques while painting your own cars. Then, you should help me paint mine very cheap.
Glad to hear you're resurrecting the Fiero, there aren't many of those around these days. I always wanted to drive one.
