Temp is up a tad

It is 52 degrees out soooo I am going to put the last coat of paint on the teardrop then the black stripes. Wooohooo. Then I will almost be done. But of course that does not mean that I will have nothing to add to the tear later :D .

I lucked out in Cleveland with nice temps too so got some spare urethane on and also was able to keep painting the trim.

Glad you are almost done.

Hey...............I see you are up to 92% done!!!!!! Feels great doesn't it?

I'm almost there too. It's another warm day here in Cleveland and I think the Christmas shopping can wait till later after I play around in the garage with the teardrop.

Leaving for NY for the holiday tomorrow so I have to stop and shop sometime.

Happy Holidays.....................

I put a black stripe on my tear but it looks like it is drying too slow. Got cold right after I finished putting it on. Dag nab it.

Update:

I am leaving in one hour for my drive to NY. Yesterday I got to complete my shopping and had extra time to work on the td too. Now that was a Christmas treat right there. Thought I'd post these two pictures. Still have to remount fenders, add moonie hubcaps, silicone the hurricane hinge, add weather stripping to the doors and hatch and put on the bumper.

Santa visited early and left me a heated mattress pad! I plan to camp in the td, in my driveway, when I get back. I'll keep the slippers handy in case I need to make a mad dash back into the house but it should be fun.

Nightcap, Miriam..........and everyone else.........have a great holiday!
