Went down and got it inspected today, Ill wait till friday to get my new plates........get more for my money that way. Stupid sunroof really took alot of timel I'm going to have a word with the Napa guy about the paint, the color match is just nowhere near close enough. Im going to wait until I get better matching paint to colorsand it. Otherwise just a few things to finish up with, we are going to jury rig the sunroof up into the sealed position and leave it untill I can figure what to do about it. This morning when I filled the tank it was blowing smoke pretty good, after driving it a little that stopped, I figure I musta been blowing out oil that had run around in the intake when it went turtle. Otherwise is seems to be driving pretty good, making some clunking noise that I want to track down, and it feels like it could use an alignment. But man, that diesel pulls nice, we got some rain today, just give it some gas from a stop was able to break the tires loose, now the tires Im sure are crappy, but still, it scoots, gotta love that torque.

Color me "Impressed"!!! Nicely Done! I bet more than oil was sloshed around in there during the turtle. Keep an eye on your oil for "extras", might be worth an analysis. And don't worry about the hood dents. I put more dings on my Libby this weekend than you have left on your project! darn Gruman canoe! |

Been there done that, the foam supports that push into the edge, the ropes running front and back, used to strap that canoe on top of our old mercedes turbo diesel wagon. Oh yes......much fun. |

Got my respect - nicely done! Are you going to keep it and play with it yourself or turn it for a profit? Mark |

Nice job I would repaint the dents and leave them in... add a lift and some tires. We all know that at some point they will be back, dents always come back |
