On Saturday, I dropped off the last two quarts of "Torrid Red" paint and two cans of hardener at the mechanics' where Lucy's new paint job is being done. The job, which includes some minor fiberglass the body work, should be complete early next week, at which point I'll finally be able to bring Lucy home (it's been almost two months since the test drive!)
I'm very curious to see what Torrid Red will look like. I think it will be a little brighter than the current red, and this spawned a suggestion from the former owner to add a touch of black paint to the red to make it darker. I'm going to stick with the stock Torrid color however. The guy doing to work on the bus called it "Ming Red". It's quite lively and I think it will look smashing!
Everyone loves a good makeover with before and after shots, so here are some photos of Lucy as she appeared when I purchased her. I'll post the "after" shots as soon as I bring my girl home next week!
