You sure do keep busy.
It's been pretty hectic around here trying to get everything finished before the show next weekend...
...I ran into a couple electrical issues last night that I spent a lot of time trouble shooting that has already put me behind schedule...
Thanks for the comments...

Hey Brian, have to be really careful handling and installing the pieces to not to put any stress on or flex the panels when installing....
...I've already had a couple spider cracks pop up on the door panels from having to remove/install them a couple different times for various reasons that were my fault. I had the door panels repaired when the other parts were being painted last weekend...Hopefully this time, once they're in place, I won't be removing/installing them again ...
