    As so often happens with "custom" stuff, reality rears it's ugly head and dumps all over the best laid plans. A quick read above shows the upholstery beginning in July. Well, the interior went fairly well, but when it came time for the top all hell broke loose. I think I mentioned it elsewhere here, but we had to send the top irons back to the manufacturer, who's actually a new owner of the tooling since I purchased this one, but he made good on the pieces anyway. Had to get new wood bows too since the old one had the wrong shape for who knows what reason now. So, long story short, had to redo a bunch of little stuff, get back in the schedule conga line, and then work our way through. So today the top is FINALLY just about done save for some minor trimming that should only take another couple days.

    TADAH!!!

    Then on to finishing the rest of the nose fitment and a few more details and we're ready for next season. WoooHooooo!

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
