Well, the trip up to Woodward took its toll on my Kat. I know CJ posted my problem with driving through the river of water and powderd concrete I thought sure the car was ruined. Then after spending one and half hours of both my wife and myself cleaning the car. I took the bra off and tried to dry it as best I could. I left if off while we ate lunch. After lunch I reinstalled it. I did not want to get back on the Interstate so I decided to take routes 25 and 24 north. Big mistake. Route 25 wasn't bad but 24 was a nightmare. Very rough road and it took us trough the ghettos of Toledo. When we finally arrived at the hotel and after I unloaded our luggage and then proceeded to clean the Kat. I took the bra off and I was shocked to see the paint on my hood had clouded. We tried at CJ and Bob's to get it out with a hair dryer but that didn't work. This weekend I tried a heat gun and that didn't work either. I talked with a painter at a cruise last night. He is first going to try and buff it out. If that does not work he going to repaint my hood. It wil cost me $300.00 plus the cost of the paint. It will be about a week before he can fit me into his schedule. Also while I was cleaning the car in MI on the date we arrived, my mud flap fell off. I guess I was lucky I did not lose it. So the moral to this story is if you get your bra wet, take it off immediately. By the way I got off the Interstate for nothing. On the return trip I noted there was no road construction between Bowling Green and Toledo so I shook the he$l out of my Kat on route 24 for nothing. Live and learn I guess. This one looks like its going to be a costly lesson. But considering what happen to JD on the Deadwood cruise, I guess my troubles were minor. But its still not an easy pill to swallow. By the way I did not put the nose or hood bra back on the car on the return trip. I may never use them again. Thank God the trip home was uneventful. ------------------ This message has been edited by BeWare on 08-26-2001 at 09:03 PM |

Rich Sorry to hear about that. Hope it clears up or paints easy. Not quite like Deadwood for JD and I but still not good. These road trips can be hard on a guy, but that won't stop me from makin' them if and when I can. Good Luck Marc ------------------ |

Rich, The advice from the other half is to have a little more patience and see if it will dry some more and perhaps you won't need to re-paint. ------------------ Classic/Beautiful - I'm referring to the Cat of course! |
