On to the roof.....
The color looks a little bit weird since I had the table covered with red paper. |

Yep, I'm pretty happy with it.
I'm also feeling pretty decent about how the match on the roof is looking now. I think the white gets darker the thinner it gets - as it gets closer to the SWR paint underneath.
I'm looking forward to getting the roof finished so I can move onto another project. |

Maybe you should bring the So-22 to Kelly Park and we'll recreate the photo? |

Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon. |

The paint match on the drivers side I think I can live with.
The original paint lightens up quite a bit right down the center of the roof line - I might try respraying that side later.
Tent.....
I don't know why these tent mounts look so rough - they are the only pair of six screw ones I have. |

Looking great Greg. The paint match looks decent.
My stomach does a flip flop when I see the tent mounts and drill bits. Damn, you are serious.... |
