Like always comments and suggestions welcomed and encouraged, even if they are negative.



I still need a good choice for convertible tops that are vinyl. I know about RAGG TOP, but cannot find it locally, and I don't do a lot of convert tops to justify it.



Cheers,

Beautiful job, Greg! Glad to see the purple foamed wool, SCR and 106ff are working out so well.



Really looking forward to that Bentley...
 
Great job! Interesting way to market yourself too! Do you just attend auctions and offer services to winning bidders?
 
Awesome work. Seeing that car beat up makes me feel old. I remember when they where brand new and hot (300 HP was a lot back then)
 
Thanks Gents,



The car came out pretty darn clean, and using the purple foamed wool was a real treat. The wool really was easy to handle on the vertical panel, does not jump around, and cuts very nice with an impressive finish.



DAN: Yes I gave it a try to sponsor an event by giving two details of 225$ away to be auctioned off. I will see in time how that might generate some more quality business.



SuperBee: The guy with the bentley is coming around and I hope to close the deal soon, for a bentely it is beat and will require some time to polish out and then COAT in vintage!



THOO1: I can tell you that this car still flys with the HP, I wouldn't mind owning it!



Cheers,

GREG
