Hey Ryan,

I got to take it to my class reunion, a family reunion, and a few other "Sunday" cruises along the way. I have been buried at work lately so this was the last chance to get the top on before the weather turned cold.

I do have some plans for the winter including adding the brushguard. The 360 will be coming out in favor of something else also. I just can't decide which way to go at this point. Probably will go with a rebuilt 440, JVX adaptor, and A518 overdrive transmission that I have.

A good friend of mine owns a sign and graphics shop. I took one of the original doors and the tailgate down to him. I also took pencil rubbings of the rest of the stripes to get the right contours around the wheel wheels and spacing. He then made the stripes and lettering. He had to special order the metallic brown vinyl and then installed it for me.

The Ram heads were my doing. I took digital pictures, printed out copies on a laser printer, touched up all the bad areas by hand, and then my friend put it into his graphics program and made the decals for the side and tailgate.
