Strange things happen in the off season. How much work, repairs, or painting should one do to a race car. The original paint on the chassis of the trusted #88 was showing signs of age. To be honest, it was looking really bad. After much debate, I went to work on the car. It was the first time I have ever stripped a car completely. Every nut, bolt, rivet and part were removed. Once all the parts were removed I could see the true condition of the car. It was in great condition, minimal welding repairs were needed. The red paint was faded, chipped and flaking off. I had a choice to make. Should I paint, or powder coat? Everyone I asked said "powder coat was the best" for durability and finish. So down the road to Force Powder coating in Burlington for a sandblast and new colour.
