AJ, if I can help you out with airfare to make it more feasable let me know. I travel for a living so its not a big deal with mileage and what not. I know you mentioned you have done fan tables there.

No its not that. I'll be traveling the week prior from MN to Denver to Seattle for PAX then back to Denver then back to MN. I would be getting back just in time to leave for Atlanta and that's just too much traveling for me.

I guess its not out of the question, it is very possible that I would show up in Atlanta for a day or two but I would not be there in any official capacity. Our Ghostbusters fan table will hopefully be run by the Georgia group down there.

The basecoat is the Champagne from 1993 or QV4 Light Champagne Metallic Clearcoat. The Red they actually matched at the shop to my wheels, which was a Rustoleum Professional Safety Red I got at Lowes. So there may not be a true paint code for that one.

They topped it with PPG Eggshell Clearcoat, its the same used on Mercedes Benz bumpers. Apparently they semiglossed bumpers on some of their models.

Sounds good to me, I haven't registered yet. Never been down there before, not sure quite what to expect. But running the Jeep in the parade sounded like fun. Make a 29, the number doesn't matter much. Dan is making a 29 up in Chattanooga, if we were both at the same event it would be cool.

Interior Swap Time, I had purchased a set of mint front seats last year and unfaded carpet, this past week I found a newish rear seat. So it was time to pull out the old faded stuff and install the newer stuff. So out of 6 front seats and 2 rears I installed what looked to be the best, some of them it was a tough call. I ended up shampooing the old seats that were in the jeep and they look alot better. I spend alot of quality time with the carpet shampooer.

Here is the old interior, a little tired and faded:
