Well executed.

I did a final check to see how it fit and blocked out the DP90 for the final time.

I was going to paint it myself and went back and checked out oversprays painting videos. After watching them I decided to have some help. If it would have been flat I would have tried. But with all the humps and bumps I found a place with a paint booth and let a pro at it.

I set up my sewing machine and made a  cover for the box. You'll note that my upholstery shop looks just like my welding/fab shop. Also just like my body shop, and engine assembly shop, I think you get the idea. And to top it off the dam thing doesn’t sew straight!!! :wink:

Last pic DONE. Time to move on to the next project!!

Looks great Tom.  So other than the operator not being able to sew straight, did the machine work good?  :)

I like it!  Looks great Tom- keep this pace and motivation level up and you may have more than one project ahead of you! Now don't decide you want a shortened turtle deck...
