Not too bad man

about 1 1/2 hours to do that, * just stretching the canvas and putting in the seals for one door.

I have my original mirror arm for the driver side, but need a new round mirror

I will, and I am not sure the round ones are available, the large rectangle ones are.

I had the body shop owner over the other night, all he said to me was drop it off and I'll take care of you.........WTF ??? that's all I could get out of his ass! He's way cool and i worked for him 22 years ago polishing cars. So the end result should be money as I have seen a 50k paint job on some old stupid rare Porsche there.

Tonight I picked up my 100 as it go new tint, then I thought I better get the other $9 HID sets installed, that is challenging getting 6 ballasts tucked into the fender noses.

I have had the low beams for a few months, just lazy putting the others in and they are stupid bright on high..

I need to find out how to keep the fogs on with the highs.

Kinda thinking the Hella H4 head lights with HID's stuffed in there for the '66 with all LED's everyplace else.

Later, i have to be up in a few hours.
