i'm building a website for the company my dad's now running... they do paint... so, hmmm, might be able to work out some sort of barter...

yeah
I just picked up a very nice canvas top easter weekend - complete with black vinyl head liner - very slick.

I picked up the Zender side skirts yesterday
they require some "modification" to get them to fit on the cabby, thanks to that lil rail under the rocker panel...

I'm also getting a paint job within the next couple months.
