    Mike I know it's homemade out of schedule 40 PVC, I'll get some specifics for ya tomorrow, it looks like it would be easy and inexpensive to make, the pulley system looks more complicated than the canopy itself. it can be lowered all the way to the floor or raised to 15 feet.
    Ward I'll try to get a pic when it's in the painting position for ya.
    It was raining today and the humidity was too high to paint, calling for same tomorrow.
    It WILL be ready for Nationals:yup:

    The car looks good and ready for paint. Tell Mr. Harvey that his Bird looks fantastic! Good luck with the weather.

    We have shot the white...we can't tape off the white for at least 3 days after applying it...I hope to shoot the blue Mon. or Tues.
    The white came out gorgeous IMO....I'll post a pic after shooting the blue.

    Frank to satisfy your insatiable need for pics I'm gonna post some pics of something in the main forum shortly....:eek: :D

    What type of white did you use? Was it the original factory color code white or something else?

    Erick I did use the original Wimbledon white but did a little something different with the mixing process...I'll explain after I shoot the blue and get a pic up.
