dan.... I ordered one that Eshan makes... Alex has it for me just was having trouble finding it in his garage, I got a msg from him today saying I would have it by the end of the week :)

not sure if that will work or not as I have not seen what they look like either.... maybe alex will chime in there as let us know if he thinks it will work.

A flat type channel will not work. The canvas has a bead shaped fold sewn in it, so it needs a similar shaped channel.

Oh, and the footman loops I am sending are stainless steel. Hope that's OK.
 
You get some paint on those doors yet?

No I don't.... I do have them all stripped and stress cracks welded up, all body work is done and ready for primer. I have more work to do on bows as I am not happy with them yet, then going to get my new hood sripped and ready for primer. Got to weld up a few holes in side curtains to.

I am waiting till spring to shoot paint or at least 40 to 50 degree weather as I don't want to paint in my shop I would rather paint in the paint booth shed, it is easier to get clean an dust free. With body work and junk I have done in shop too much dust and with out cleaning whole shop with pressure washer it would not be good. And no water in shop I would have to run a garden hose, which sucks in the winter. Plus paint booth is heated but only with open flame typewall heater so I don't want to be straying with open flame. I know I have done it before, but now I know it is not a good idea.

No pics yet, saving them all for when I spray, but I am snapping a few here and there, so updated soon.


Snowmobile trails been good up here thos year so been riding on weekends or when I can. Been helping a few buddies with their junk here and there also, but hey... I should come up with a few more excusses :)

I got the chance to attend the eelpout festival in northern MN last weekend. It is about a 100 or so mile ride by sled up there so a few buddies and me packed up and headed up there for the day. I have been there before but not for many many years. I have to say it is not like I remembered it. It is like a whole city is set up on the Walker bay of Leech lake. There are streets and ave signs to get places and there was a traffic jam on the roads… they actually had cops directing traffic…. It was crazy… google eel pout if you don’t know what one is… they are not considered a game fish in MN and people are usually not really excited to see one on the end of the line when they reel it up…
