Hey, Phil

You got it, bro' ... I'm ready to put rug down. I keep seeing a multi-shaded carpet ... gray with darker gray and black spots ... cut pile. All the vehicles I see interior guys doing have solid colors and I want something more exciting looking. I was at Walmart today and they have this 36" x 36" rug that's black, with a big red star (stretched out) in the center of it, with some other colors. It stopped me in my tracks, and I found myself wondering if I could work in into my plans -- buy 2 ($20 each) and have a star on each side in the foot area. It would be a killer look if I can figure a way to do it. Maybe I can use it with the first idea I mentioned and work them in together.

My cousin has a friend who sells the older industrial sewing machines ... I'll be buying one soon and then watch what I do! My real passion is in doing interiors more than anything else.

We've had so many rainy days, I can't stand it! It's raining today again ... but I made good use of the day. When I installed my AC unit, I had to get rid of my power antenna and so I never bothered wiring up my radio and speakers. Today I found a mini-powered antenna at Pep Boys for $25 ... it'll fit in the same spot and won't be in the way of anything! So I've got the radio, speakers and antenna all wired up now, everything works, and I'm waiting for a sunny day to put the antenna back in the cowl area.
