so why the new aprons and hood i missed it lol

My old hood has a few bad spots in it. ones that I could not fix... not that if you were not good at body work you couldnt, but above my ability. also I wanted a split hood. Shreg gave one to me, in damn near perfect condition... it has been hanging on my shop wall for about 2 years.

aprons.... well my old ones the PO drilled a few holes in them that were not suppose to be there. I didnt really know when I redid them the first time so I didnt fill them in. so they always bothered me. probably very few people ever noticed it.

Thanks... he is 6 now and has been grey for 2 years at least...

we are into the high 30's maybe low 40's some nights here. I cant say I dont enjoy this weather because it is in the 50-60's most days, which is about right for me.

We didnt even have any summer days this year that it was 100...

new hood minus the windshield pad. I had to order new ones from cdan because the ones from the 74 dont fit the older style windshield. I didnt know this or I would have done that way before. they should be here this week.

OEM weatrher stripping

 

[apeterson]

more new OEM weather stripping. new door limit stops. not OEM but real real nice and I could not be happier with them.

 

[apeterson]

doors being put together

 

[apeterson]

top on. doors took a long time to get right. they are still difficult to close but once the weather stripping wears in it should get better.

 

[apeterson]

[apeterson]

a few more from my camera phone......

 

[apeterson]

Ted and I had to haul the fish house up the hill to get it ready for hunting..... we had to flip a coin to see who got to pull it with their truck. I lost.....
