the kr is being done by johnsons auto restoration in reno. i had the
same story as you from the restorer. a 5 month time frame has turned
into 12 months as of next month. i have a clue now why the delay.
i felt the need to assert myself as the unsatisfied customer yesterday
morning. i have been hearing crap like "you go in the paint booth next"
since about last november. it is so cold in the winter here i didnt care
if the thing was finished or not in the moddle of the winter as i
wouldnt drive it then anyway so i didnt mind being bullshitted.
now that spring is here my attitude is different.
the talk of the shop was the price that the kr went for at barrett
jackson last spring. the shop owner was somewhat impressed that he has
an actual kr in his shop. i guess it brought him a little attention
around town.
after yesterdays conversation i came away with the feeling that with the
rarity and value of the thing, along with the scrutiny his finished
project will attract, he is finding it a bit intimidating. that is my
gut feeling anyway....
the wifes '66 i'm going to try to do that totally by myself. i have
bought a few resto books and have started to tool up for the project in
the past few weeks.
enough of that.....
to answer your question....i live in south reno.
redding is where i graduated junior college the first time.
both the kr and the '66 came from somewhere between redding and eureka, ca.
i'm also from that same area.
