Throw a couple of ladies and some beer back there and call it a day.

Not too much to report today other than she’s getting there’s. It’s all blended. He’s about to start in one corner and work around until he’s done.

I can almost taste all the cruising.

This town ain't big enough for the both of us

I raised the front coils by 1" using a spacer. I think this is the happy ground for the van as it doesn't look like it will bust off the flares on every bump.

I am now in the process of upholstering all my interior trim pieces. My living room is a work shop at the moment much to the annoyance of my dog.

I am going to get different clamps because these are too hard on the fabric and leave a definite dent in the foam and vinyl. A little heat will bring them out. I plan to finish this project before the weekend. I am going two tone interior. Burgundy vinyl trim pieces and black diamond door panels and walls with maroon/burgundy shag on the floors. and bed.

These corners are next, I am looking forward to it. I also spoke to my plastics guy. He can get me sheets of red mirrored acrylic for the ceiling. Oh the possibilities.
