The security system is down temporarily for maintenance.....the slog of interior work is almost as bad as polishing stainless...but well worth the slog in the end.  Very nice work Joe!

LOL, thanks gentlemen!
They seem to love the radiant heat floor, sometimes too much!
When I was 14 years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned 21, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last 7 years!

.     Well, took it easy today and got the back seat bolted in place just to see how it looked and how the rug would work out.

.     It will have to come back out to do the package tray, but I can't do that until the "Moonskin" comes in for the sail panels, it's been on back order from AutoKrafters for ever, so I found a guy who had 4 feet of it on Epay, so I just ordered it and will have to wait for it to come in .

.     Anyways, plenty of other stuff to button up so I'll start on that stuff this week. Leaving for Barret-Jackson with some friend next week so progress will slow for a bit.
