    Today, I tried out the portable sand plaster deal my wife got my for Christmas. It's from Harbor Freight but surprisingly it did pretty well on my dash tray brackets. I definitely see why it is better to have a cabinet for this.
    I have to say I'll be purchasing a cabinet soon.

    I put up two new LED shop lights in my workspace. Tomorrow I am buying a craigslist engine hoist and stand. Soon my junkyard roller bottom end will be under the lights!

    I worked on trying to get the adhesive off that's left from removing the vinyl top. Lots of elbow grease. Using a 3M Adhesive remover and it is really helping. I did some reading on the forum and some others have said soaking in WD-40 worked for them but I didn't have any success with that.
