First, let me thank all of you for your kind words, and support. Very Happy

A few more pics of the final week..............

Rearview mirror, with the new headliner.

I think the console, and dash came out OK.

Now with 2 seats................

Another light check. (note the new top laying on the corvair)

Pretty much ready to go !!!!!!!!!

Again, Thank ALL Of YOU Laughing

If I can help anyone, just ask.

Have a Great Day,

Bill

Very SMALL show this weekend, only 4 cars..... Crying or Very sad

But it was for a good cause, the local Special Olympics.

I never would have thought that this buggy would be parked between a DeLorean,

And a 2014 Corvette,,,,,,

The BEST part was being presented with a Special Olympics Medal, by one of the Olympiads. Very Happy

Have a GREAT DAY,

Bill
