It was a white knuckle ride. The ride to my work was the worst. I had to stop 3 times to tighten straps. This time it stay tight.

Good luck with your paint job.

I must be really insane after 15 years of being around this stuff.

You would think so, but I keep running into set backs. I've learned and still learning what not to do.

I got a little upset today. When I realized I need to repaint my grill mounting panel, inner fenders and cowl screen. Note to self.....Buy more than enough material and only use that. I had our paint supplier mix my first gallon of single stage. Later on I mixed the same paint code at work they are both PPG and the color I mixed was darker. Another lesson learned. The middle of the HL mount panel is the right color, but the last time I painted it I dusted some color on the ends of it where I sanded thru.

On a good note me and Shannon got the bed on and rolled it outside for some glamour shots.
