Re: Orange Hornet's Upholstery Finally Done

I stand corrected! ;> I'll never ask you to give up quality points! I got in a rush to get my car done, wanting to drive it in a leg of the Hot Rod Power Tour in 2004, being as it ran right through MS -- in my back yard! Unfortunately I just couldn't get the car done, missed it by 2-3 months, and wish I'd taken just a bit more time and care in a few areas. Overall I'm pleased with it, just have a few areas that could use an extra bit of polish, and one or two I'll eventually have to redo. In one way it's good that I did rush it a bit though. I only drove it 4-5 months before I had to go to Korea! If I'd taken much longer I may not have been able to check everything out real good before leaving.
