Cary, Man of Steel…er…chromoly.
We officially started work on the roll cage this weekend with Cary bending the ceremonial “first pipe” or whatever he calls it. Skid brought the transmission shipping box over and bolted the first tranny into it for delivery to Transwerks. Shawn, officially designated our “body guy” worked on body panels, prepping them for painting. And Scott made a cake from scratch. Scott has an entire fab shop where he manufactures prototype medical devices and was explaining that he works with drill bits that are the diameter “of four human hairs.”
We were joined this week by Richard who read about us in the Sentinel article. Richard is a welder, has sponsored and supported off road race teams, and had a welding shop in Felton until last year when he had to close it due to complications from his Type 2 diabetes. His welds bordered on works of art. It’s great to have him as part of the team.
Also as a result of the Sentinel piece I was contacted by a professional photographer with a studio in Santa Cruz who has Type 2 diabetes and has offered to photograph the car as it’s being painted, do a team shot and a hero card photo.
We’re meeting some great people. I’m really honored to be part of this effort.
The UPS guy delivered three boxes in three days. Each box was from Camelbak.
