    Beautiful Grabber Dave.(y) You could look at things another way. Your car just got cleaned by Mother Nature's car wash. Good clean soft water and unless you have an acid rain problem, no chemical additives. :) Just dry it off before the sun comes back out.

    As long as you aint' driving in it ... rain isn't a big deal. Getting stuck in a cloud burst coming back from FFW last month was the worst my Maverick has ever been subjected too. I actually washed mine for the first time since then getting it ready for Year One show today ...

    So ... is you car done? All put back together? Do we have the completed pics? :)

    I would say 99% done as of right now, some little issues, some things need to be replaced with better items, I really haven't driven it yet, so I'm sure something will pop up. I'll post more pictures once I'm back from my vacation and the Round Up. Thanks to everyone thats had a hand it getting me parts I've needed, doing work on the car, and for the moral support along the way!!:yup:

    Looking good Dave!!! Cant wait to see it. Hell, I've never had to wash my Sprint since I redid it back in 2002. Just wipe it down once in awhile.

    My orange car has been in one very, very, very small drizzle.....that's it!! I hope that is the worse it ever see's.

    Can't wait to see your car in Washington, D.C. in just a few hours!!
