Re: Tim's '55 Patrician

Despite the fuel system challenges, I have been making progress in other areas. I picked up some spare wheels that I plan on having sandblasted and then powder-coated in the Patrician's ultimate colour of Sapphire Blue Metallic. I have found a place locally that will sandblast the wheels at $25/wheel and the turn-around is about a week. I have also found a powder-coating place in the area that will powder-coat the wheels for $50/wheel. At $75/wheel, I can have all five (5) sand-blasted and powder-coated for a total of $375.

I am holding off this project until I have the total for the wheels available as I don't want the sand-blasted wheels sitting around while I wait to accumulate the cash for the powder-coating.

I like to refer to this as multi-tasking (wheels - brakes - fuel system - exhaust). My wife tells me that I simply can't focus and stay on task long enough to finish one to completion. Sigh, at least she appreciates the Packards.
