Thanks Jeff...I am back at work today...drove the black 40 with the 5.0 (aka the Hybrid Synergy Drive 
) to work today. Got back from CG's shop Sat night and dropped the new aluminum radiator and a new brake MC in the black 40 yesterday morning. Stopping and cooling are both greatly improved.
As for the red wagon, it is in the hands of Tony the painter at this point. He'll shoot the top first, then tape it off and shoot the rest of the wagon. I have to pick up youngest daughter from skewl next weekend, so it appears the weekend of the 14th will be my first opportunity to return and put it all back together and drive it back east.
As I get pics, I'll post'em up.
Jeff u wouldn't by chance happen to have a drivers side snake blinder laying around ?

pic one. guy standing on round ladder to reach top.
pic two. guy standing on floor towering above roof line.
thanks for the panel offer, but i was looking for more of the rainbow on the wheel well. i've got a "hole" an inch wide that runs from front of the well all the way over the top to rear, just right around the top edge by the body seam.

I'll be back at the shop this weekend...plan is to reassemble and drive it home. The panel should still be there. I'll throw it in the back. With luck I'll be hitting Lebanon area of the turnpike some time Sunday afternoon. Monday at the latest.
