That's turning out Real Nice! I spy with my little eye some real nice looking distractions in the background (and a Dodge :( :lol: )I am thinking, (yes that happens from time to time and it is never GOOD!) that you need help to keep that stable properly exercised! So exactly where is the "Stable" at and where do you hide the Gas Card? :lol: :mrgreen: :burn: :burnout: Lookin' Good, Nice detail work! Harry

the headliner decal
is something like they would use for a vehicle wrap

just on regular vinyl, the red color is printed on white vinyl
then laminated with matte clear.

i did test vinyl dye sprayed on white plastic sign board
i could have used that cause when dry, you cannot even scratch it off.

but thought the decal was a safer choice.

next post = recent photos, since then it has been aligned and now has exhaust.

those pics coming soon.

thanx for the comments, april will make 4 years on the restoration.

in the photo above
the man in the overalls "Pete"
assembled this vehicle from nothing but a hull

he has installed every mechanical component, every nut and bolt
virtually by himself, except for when he absolutely had to have a hand.

and he did it in the NC Summer weather, Muggy and Hot
under the shelter you see in background
you can also see my donor 1977 V8 Coupe
( a valuable resource through entire project )


THANX TO PETE AND ALL THE GUYS AT R.E.H. Automotive !!!!
for a ton of help and freindship.
