Had some fun this weekend, went to a couple of local shows, some real nice cars there, here are a few of my favorites:




I was so busy talking to guys and looking at cars I forgot to take pics of the Bronco, next time.

Got the visors upholstered, they turned out great.



Started painting the top, the supplier screwed up my order and I didn't have enough activator for the clear coat, so I was only able to put 1 coat of clear, I will finish that up tomorrow night.

Painted the seat belt retractor covers also, the new seat belts will be here Tuesday.

Man I hate when that happens... paint gun is going, then not enough paint. Gotta clean up the gun an extra time. That and when I paint, I get in 'the groove' and stopping just ruins the mojo man.

When I paint I get in a groove till the wind blows throwing my makeshift garbage bag covers onto the wet paint that already has pollen and bugs stuck in it... Last time I paint in my front yard.

Man it was laying down real nice too, no biggie though.

Got the top clear sprayed on this afternoon, it has some texture to it which I actually kind of like. I left the surface texture on the top for the most part, just knocked down the high spots.

It looks real nice dude! I'm about to get rid of a set of sliders with the wing windows, I've got 2 offers as of last night.

During summer I hope to have mind road worthy so I can tackle the tailgate and top. I want to repaint the top after sanding, and I want to put all new seals on the top and tailgate.

Decided to go with the solid windows after looking closer at the sliders.
