*Thursday morning I took the 4-pieces of belly pan to the car wash for a good cleaning.Got home and I demolished what was left of the rotted plywood surrounding the bedcover and got Spirit backed into the 'shop'.
*Friday I began fiberglassing the aerodynamic alterations to the bedcover,'til I ran out of material.'went to town,got cash,hit WalMart and got $66 worth of resin,glass cloth and mat.
*'picked up more masking tape this AM and will be ready to resume fiberglass Sunday.
*I'll ignore the charging system for awhile and use the Insight for commuting.It's easier on fuel anyway.

The meetup with BamZipPow was great.Dark Shadow is more impressive than ever!
Bam's quite the 'chef' as well! (he left me with goodies from his kitchen )
yes, the truck sits here too, unless it is needed. Beetles do the most driving
