No top colour yet but the trunk-lid was mounted and (if I do say so myself) it looks good.

Thanks guys,I'm 10 years on this one and I was dragging my behind.
Things seem to be working out now and with the prospect of completion I'm catching my 3rd or 4th wind.:D

Hey Terry! Yes that is the gray colour,Hard to get a good pic of the light grey,but when it's in the sun it should be a light charcoal grey.

Hey Ken! Yes after four years it will be painted! I don't want to jinx myself but I hope to be cruising by the end of the summer.:D:rolleyes:

Who knows? I just know I'm finally getting to the fun part.:cool:
