dang, need to show these pix to my buddy, his paint booth ain't near as neat and clean as yours, but he did do a pretty good job painting my car.
I need to post some pix of that car.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

ND is a man on a mission! I'd better get moving on my rig or it won't be ready for our big race!
Looking great!

I had some Wimbledon white left over from a previous project, single stage urethane. I sprayed it on the roof for the color sealing issues I was talking about earlier with the vinyl top. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/Mobile%20Uploads/Resampled_2013-05-04_10-22-33_724_zps4f0d5e9a.jpg) Going to pick up the base coat, I asked my friend to mix it up for me yesterday so I better go pick it up.

While I was doing this stuff with my car today, my uncle passed away, "uncle dusty" campfire member here at the forum. We were as ready for it as we could have been but it's just so tough. Cancer. Very sad day. Have some pics to share of today's work, unsure what's up for the rest of the weekend. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/IMG_8988-1_zps30dcf08d.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/IMG_8999-1_zps3854467c.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/IMG_9001-1_zps049faa18.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/IMG_9004-1_zps2befba27.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/IMG_9005-1_zpscd32ca28.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/IMG_9006-1_zps93c9c992.jpg) [img] http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/IMG_9010-1_zps15cbd348.jpg[/img]

Sorry bout Uncle Dusty. It's never easy, no matter how much warning we're given. Good Uncles are hard to come by...  Progress looks awesome....be easy to throw the Jensen 6"X9"'s in the back with the truck lid and glass removed...

Real sorry to hear about Uncle Dusty's passing, Dave. I wasn't keeping close tabs on his condition, but whenever you posted some good tidbit in the past regarding him, I was always happy to hear the news.

that was just my nice way of bringing your attention to the cleaning that needed to be done.  didn't want to call you out in front of all your friends here.

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, Dave. Seems like a large proportion of amazing family member faves so often are uncles.
Your car is coming alone beautifully, BTW. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to share with folks here.

The Runner is going to be awesome when it's finished.
Maybe you could name the Runner "Uncle Dusty" in his honor.

I will visit both of them with my brown plymouth.
