I told you she was a keeper!!! Great for you!!!!! The car looks fantastic!!!! But as Rob said why is there hand prints on the truck???? Karen ran the winch and was yanking the cable so it spooled correctly. O ya she helps. She sometimes doesn’t have a clue but she gives it he.. definitely a keeper. It a family shop his wife and kids are there all day. They “homeschool “ them there. But actually I think there his when he was putting it on. Some on the doors too.

Dtret Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 As you are all aware body shop dust is everywhere and the best way to find it is to touch stuff. I think it’s been violated. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve learned not to get excited about this kind of stuff because something seems to ruin the fun. But honestly it’s getting harder to hide it.

Dtret Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Thanks guys. I don’t know how much fun it will be. But I know it’s going to be a lot better than the “ cleaning of the parts”stage. I did put my first part on the body yesterday. Ran the wire for the dome light. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s funny you say misplaced ( not the dome light cover, it was on it) but I was getting all the parts together for the vinyl top installation and I forgot the sail panel emblems. I tore that room apart looking for them. A good hour looking, found them in the closet pushed back by the wall. The one part I needed and the only thing I missed in the closet.
