Last weekend on Saturday I damaged the front Bumper and on Sunday I backed the Falcon into the retaining wall at Sea Temple and damaged the rear bumper (bloody sand stone capping). I rung Lee the Painter from Cars of Cairns on Saturday night to ask if I could get the front repaired and painted in time for us to leave midday Friday to head to Ingham. Did he get a shock when I show him the rear as well. I had planed to repair the bars after Ingham but I now think it was meant to be done now.
The Falcon was book in to my mate Squeaker to prepare the car for Ingham. Last night I dropped by Squeakers to check out the car. I was knocked out by what I sore. I have never seen the car shine like it does now. The Car is the best I have ever seen it now all I need to do is get the front and rear bars back on today and it should look fantastic.
Last year the Falcon won best late model with not much preparation, scratched and holes in the front and rear bars and the paint was OK. This year the bars will be like new and the car is so much better that it was last year.
I have been preparing the Mustang as well during the week. Thankfully it has been very easy to prepare. Today I will wash if and cover it and it's ready to roll. Late this afternoon it is hoped to put the bars back on the falcon and have it ready as well. I am heading to Ingham with Andrew driving the Falcon, Jeff (Rat) in his 32 Ford Ute, Squeaker in his AUII XR8 and Beau in his BA XR6T.
I thought I would not have the Falcon ready in time but thanks to some very talented people it's almost there. I will post pictures later today.
