After the Plasti-Dip came off, I reworked the body work, from 40 footer, to 10 footer.

Wanted to try a sand and paint of the top. I sanded it smooth, then sprayed texture coat to get the look. I think it came out well.
Black picture at the end is a original roof finish.            |

One more comfort item, added seat bolsters for the lower back. Simply install, and they feel great. I did modify the bag a bit with some stock vacuum line to extend the pump.
As you can see these did not start off as bolsters bags. Google for a price.         |

Keeping it going, I installed a sub woofer to help out the bass. I was going to install it up behind the dash, and delete the glove box. With no head unit also, that left a lot of room. Turned out size matters. SO , I took and reworked the right foot well foam pad, and strapped the box there. It is a powered woofer.

Finished up the body work and primer, wet sanded paint soon! A little bit of seam sealer need on a prior repair to finish it off.

Pulled the windshield for the trim replacement, and cleaned up the corners a bit. Notice the setting block, this is factory since I put it in 10 years ago, a sourced it from a original install.
914 Rubber for the trim at the bottom of the glass to dash seal.        |

Finished the booth, and prep'ed and painted the doors, top, and engine lid. Went with Light Ivory in Lacquer.
Now I'll uncover, finish taping and paint the body.         |

Taped, cleaned, and painted. I'm not sure how much it helps, but I have the car and the paint at the same temp. Came out nice, not sure Ill have time to wet sand and polish before Okteenerfest.
