Ahh that paint.. it's all making sense!

umm sorry but one more selfish question... What have you done to seal/cover the bottom of the profile? You know like all around the edges you have trim, but I don't see any on bottom, just seal and paint? I had planned on treating the bottom just as the top and trimming it all the way around...

Thanks for the tips :) :thumbsup:

It is just sealed and painted, and will probably remain that way.

Yah, I would like to meet you guys too!

With my wife's job, we are just not sure if we will make it or not. I sure hope so, and may come up by myself if it comes to that. Way to early to really know what's gonna happen at this point.

Thanks Finn and Steve,

Hope to have it on the road to the LCG next week if we can get it inspected by then and get tags. We got the trim all dry fitted today, so hopefully we can finish that up tomorrow. Last thing to do will be get the fenders fitted and painted.
