So is the roof going to get the H*Que Camo Treatment?

That is very impressive. It is going to turn heads both going down the road, and at contest.

Better invest in a good trailer lock.

Maybe one of those solar fence chargers would do the trick.

Here are some more pics.

I mounted the door sooner than I wanted but I had to make sure the folding handles would nest under the closed side.

Dad & I spent almost a solid day helping D yesterday - we finished up the right hand side and skinned it and then Dad & I starting painting - woo hoo!

D worked on doors and counterweights and handles - looking SHARP!

Really had a LOT of fun working with Dad and D - and my Dad enjoyed it as well - says he's ready to come back for another round - so a good time was had by us for sure!

Here come the current pics -

Dad got the 'honor' of applying the first brushes of the OD green paint -

First side painted - using a roller and oil based paint - it has a cool textured look to it - we liked it a lot -

Both sides flipped up for underside painting -

A shot of the paint under the sides - still have more to do - but it was a great start -

The 105 Howitzer Shell counterweight - worked perfectly - well done D!! -

D's handles - flip up and down before after cook - these work really nice -

A shot of the counterweight again - in open position -

Things are progressing nicely and looking great - will post more when we get em!
