    ya know you guyz really had me freaked out about replacing my back panels from past posts ie ,popping out and TEARING INTO THE HEADLINER!!!!!! thank god mine were SO dry rotted from the az sun where my car spent most of its life,they just kinda fell out!!not completly satisfied w/the color but it will do for a 35 yr old car.the closest i could get from menards.to make me happy i guess i'll have to tape off the entire back end glass and all to complete the color around the interior.tell me what you think.and happy 4th we need an icon for drunkin fireworks lightin!!!!!!!i painted the backs of the buckets to kind make them blend in.really not happy w/color and betty says happy 4th icould watcch that for hours[​IMG]
