    I'm not sure what brand they used. I'll have to ask next time I'm down there.

    He's hob-knobling now! :biglaugh:

    That looks like the EverCoat stuff. I used it in mine, where it broke off. I thought it was pricey, until I saw what the boom-box guys buy. Its good stuff!

    That cleaned up nice. I like that antique hammer dings. Takes away the trailer queen image.

    Well the paint is all finished.
    Monday morning took a pile of parts over to the shop. The owner said they'd install all of the trim, bumpers tires/wheels etc. for no extra charge. Before I had even left they were jacking it up to swap the tires/wheels out.

    Met with the upholstery guy today. He says he's got a car that will be picked up Friday to make room for the Ranchito. So the plan is to drop it off to him on Monday.

    So basically right now it looks like we're two and a half weeks from cruising.

    Bueno.
