After the big computer disastera couple weeks ago, the kids really dove in and got to work on the variator. We finished it up today, and once Joe works his magic on the computer we should be back in business. The decals from Dick Bennett look great and went on very easily. This is the first thing that is totally done on the pump.
We are very close to being done with the inner frame and top and bottom cast pieces. We hope to be assembling them next week after we get back from state wrestling. So, on that note, does anyone have a paint code for Sinclair Green? We use PPG base/clear paint on all our projects. Thanks again for all the help and advice.

Take your Sinclair globe/sign/decals to the people who mix your paint. Have them match the color, otherwise you will probably wind up with a sign that is a different green from the color that some might supply you with.

I'll bet they would. We have another 1959 cadillac couch for a Mary Kay lady to get done first though. Keep in contact with me about it.

We got the computer back from Joe and he did an amazing job -- thanks a bunch! It works perfectly and it looks great. I also want to thank Morgan for donating the totalizer. The decals from Dick Bennett look great and were a snap to put on. Thanks to everyone else that had advice, and yes, I'll keep it sitting on the floor so it doesn't have a chance to fall again!
