Got alittle bit done here and there....

The bottom got pasteled up with some black gray white and then sprayed matte... Still some filth left there, some oil stains and some more work on the exhaust lines...

Also, thanks to Kevin, the hand cleaner gimmick to remove the paint from the canopy glass worked.... Took awhile with the q-tip, but in the end, Im VERY happy..... Added the 2 additional canopy rails and chipped the hell out of them.... Some more slight work there as well.... Didnt get to any chipping as I had to change out a tire on the Jeep, and now Im off to work for the night......

This weekend Ill be done, in time for the Members Choice Poll that I'll put together the beginning of the week....
