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.

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.

Wipeall surface prep is what I have always used.
