What a beauty. She looks very scale and authentic. You did an outstanding job on her. Something to be proud of.

All finished.
Thanks all for the company through this project.
Had a good day to get some pictures. I’m pleased with how it turned out and I learnt a lot during this build.
Thanks.

The most common paint on these Porsche Carrera GTs seems to be either silver or black, so I didn't want that. Then I read this particular yellow was done by special order for this single Porsche at a customer request. I like the yellow as well.
The pup I bought for our youngest daughter, the 27-year-old who lives with us. The pups feel like another one of my children, maybe even like grandchildren. I think the older I get; I am becoming more attached to pets. It wasn't like that for me when I was a younger man. I never let myself become emotionally attached to pets. Today they give me quite a lot of joy for some reason I cannot explain. They are so innocent.

After giving the front body clip the enamel paint job, I put it in the dehydrator, set to a temperature of 122 degrees F for 24 hours. Then waited ten days before handling the painted piece, giving it plenty of time to cure. I don't want nasty fingerprints and prefer to err on the side of caution. The headlight lenses were cemented in, the headlamp buckets painted and cemented in place along with the air intake pieces and radiator. The front clip rests in place dry-fitted so to speak. It will actually be screwed into place in later stages of the build. Next stages include painting and installing the door jambs and door hinges. Then doors and inner door panels. It will be a slow process while I wait for enamel paint to cure and dry. Same paint process as described before.

Ruby joins our Cavapoo named Topaz. These two are going to be amazing friends. Topaz is a mix of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle. Ruby is a pure Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She looks just like Topaz sire.

That surge is devastating and deadly.

Picked up this pile from the front yard this morning. There’s twice as much in the back yard. More rain is inbound today.

Storm surge is the greatest threat from Hurricanes. Much greater threat than wind. The old saying is, run from the water, hide from the wind.

First light assessment is okay. Lots of limbs and branches down. Gazebo went by by. No major damage. Neighbors west and south of here did not fare well. Storm surge over 8’ flooded many. Bridges are shut down this morning. We have already started our cleanup. By tomorrow we will be back in business. Others will need more time. Lots of debris for contractors to pick up. That will take weeks to happen. Too much for regular pickups to handle.

My gazebo flew away, into my neighbors back yard just a few minutes ago.

Lucky for me, our home is high and dry. Storm surge poses no threat. The windfield here is protected as well. Suburbs where there are farms and open fields as well as coastal areas always suffer the worst. Thanks Jav
