    I found out a young Amish fellow just opened up a tarp/upholstery shop around the corner from me. Gonna test him out on this a little bit.

    Not much going on with the weather still a mess and ducks in the driveway, but the last clear weather let me do this while waiting on other things yet.

    This part wasn't in the original plan but I had to buy a whole slice off the roll to get what I needed for up front. so..........

    It covers up the rubber mat and dresses it up when the flames wont be on it. Not really fastened down ,just tucked under at the door openings, Inexspensive indoor outdoor carpet.

    Thanks guys. My plan is to make the Nats, What time I can afford to take off I'm not sure of yet. Probably be the 1/2 week instead of the whole shot. Also have to coordinate with Gotavan to see if we can run together.

    Got the "Floor Blanket" back today. Think it'll do what I wanted it to.
    Now I have to find out whats up on my last 2 panels,,,,
    The flame pattern is on fleece, real soft, I had a backer sewn on out of some fabric similar to a very light tarp material, it makes it stiff enough to lay out very easily.

    Yeah, It's horribly busy, But im betting the kids at the carshows will like it and I'll hear some OMGs from the older folks ,,LOL. The wife checked on my remaining wall panels friday, they are in progress. going to be a lil different than what I had in mind but wife says I will like it ! This is the backer for the fleece fabric.
