I'd like to see how that vinyl top goes on. This thread has been very informative and entertaining. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

Mike....just out of curiosity, why did you paint the roof black since it will be covered with a vinyl top anyway??? Beautiful job man, I can't wait to see this car next year at MCACN!!!

Thanks guys! Darrell, I know it man. That job thing has been rearing it's head as of late! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img] But it pays the bills and allows me to put money into something other than savings [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] HA! The Bobinator told me to get into writing. There's huge, no, Montountinous amounts of money involved in writing articles for Muscle Car magazines. The rewards are fruituit...frutuit...fra..[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img].it pays well. Problem is, nobody wants to hear what I have to say anyway.....just ask my wife![img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Green Zee....I painted the top since I wanted the car to look cool while it was sitting waiting for the top to go on. No other reason than that, really. I would have done it Hemi Orange but just wanted the contrast. The base/clear provides a nice layer of protection under the top over just the DP Epoxy. It'll be scuffed with a Scotch Brite Gray pad before the glue goes on and the top goes down. You'll know if it doesn't work when I attend the PSMCD that following year and the top goes flying off and hits my opponent! Hey, that may be how I can advance to the next round!!?? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] It sure won't be from shifting correctly! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Killer work BTW

Re: "The Beater Bee" becomes "The Better Bee"
 

Fear not, Nap! I'm going to continue with the pics for a while until the car is about done! There's plenty more serious, non-humor laced, David Attenborough narrated PBS documentary style writings coming up in the new year![img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

And when this thread fizzles out like a teenage crush, head on over to my Mustang thread! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll continue to shake your head wondering when I'll be committed! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Darrell......don't panic! I'm out flying ( darn job ) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img] but another pile of parts showed up at the house awaiting installation! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] My wiper motor came back from Bruce Somer out of Ontario, CA, and I'm real excited about seeing that beauty installed.



More next Week!
