I've removed the interior so I had to sit on a bucket to drive it to the paint shop. It was about a 45 minute drive. Even sitting on a bucket it was enjoyable to drive it. I haven't painted a car in some years and given the metallic in the paint I decided to farm the paint job out. Can't wait to get it back. Seats are coming along nicely but slow.

Imagine that, a Kaiser with bucket seats!

Oh to have a car that solid to start with!

I tried the bucket thing when moving my 47K parts car around. The bucket went thru the floor...I now have a Flintstone-mobile!

I have an upper leg. The guy painting it also works for me so he has a vested interest in keeping it moving. I expect it will take a month. I hope to get out of it for about. 1,500.
