Good man.  Did you put a locker in the 44?

Its getting a new color as well as herculiner on the inside.  Bittersweet Pearl is the new color.

I got a Detroit soft locker, 4.10s, relocated the shockmounts, and relocated the vent hole. I'm just going to run the stock axles for now. Are you going to try modify you soft top to fit the jeep?

I sold the soft top... going to "alter" a windjammer, just got a new windjammer, and my old safari top may have to be mod'd.

That thing is looking sweet!  How many hours do you think you have in it?  It looks like it is going to be worth it though.

It was originally going to get flames, but I'm going single color now.  As far as hours in it... I have NO idea and would hate to add it up. 

The color is chosen and I'm going to pick it up along with hardener, primer, etc next week.

Hey Aaron.. is the Bittersweet Pearl the same color you showed me last month? Kind of on the orange side of the color wheel?

Ya, it looks to be about 2 or 3 shades off from larrys.  I decided not to go the copperhead color like originally planned.

I'm pretty sure there's a line already formed for this one IF he ever wants to sell it.

We have a "verbal" agreeement that he won't sell it until a year after it is finished! 

I am the head of the line!
