The white is too bright with the flash, but then the color is named Bright White.

November 2013, and we are out of weather for spraying paint. So after 30 days of letting the paint cure, we started the reassembly process for the main body. Once spring came again, we will come back and finish the painting of the hood and interior window frames. Oh, and probably another coat of clear on the roof, depending on what it takes to get the runs out.

For Christmas we gave each other the window glass. The flat side glass is cheap, compared to the curved back side and hatch glass. Fortunately, we still had the good windshield. Let the reassembly process begin!
