Pat was going through some of your old seals😁😁😁. You had front window felts from like 15 years ago..  the felt was falling off the bone👎👎👎👎😁😁😁😁😁😁

no worries now Tom.  I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t be driving this rig in a matter of months now!!!  No more years waiting.

I hope to see Doug today…  Notice I didn’t say I knew I would see Doug…. I hope….  😎 😎  Come on Doug. Get us through this last one.. I don’t have any complicated interior stuff on the plate after this…… so that’s good…. 😎   I don’t see anyone out there that could replace him, right now, today…  But, I guess you could say the same about Franz and Pat too…. 😎  I don’t see anyone dying to take our places….

Doug has stopped by a couple more time in the last week.

Looking good!

Working on the sunroof mech today. Disassembled.

Cleaned and rattle can painted the bows. 

All the other bits were sandblasted, epoxy sealed, and painted shiny gloss black. 

Latch mech and hardware cleaned and ready to go back in. 

We will build it if it comes.

Cleaned and installed sunroof slide rails yesterday. 

Sourced a couple speciality bolts that were missing on you mech form the KCW stash. 

They were missing because the weld nuts had broken off. New weld nuts welded. Good to go. 

We will build it if it comes.

Tried to start on the sunroof install yesterday. All of the sex nuts that control the slider tension we’re rusted and broke. Ahhhhhhhh!

New ones ordered from WW. 

We will build it if it comes.
