Amber made this totally incredible teardrop cab of this garnet in quartz stuff I found a couple of weeks ago (and she keeps sending me back for more of it...LOL) Here is the gorgeous cab she gave me from it: Her pic, not mine: Wrapped it "Randy Style" (while riding in our new truck to Jersey the other day) using gold-filled: Amber's camera is definitely better... Thanks for looking! Jo

JO: That was the coolest material, and guess what? None of what you found is that same stuff!! I cut everything today that even remotely looked like it! That was a lucky little piece you found with that one!! You did a beautiful job with the wrap! I think it will look pretty on you with your red hair!! I think I blow my pics up too much, I think yours looks better backed off a bit!!! LOL. I have a cheapo camera, it is Tony's homemade light box, and my $14 tripod that is making them better!!! He ended up taking the new fancy lightbox I got!! Amber

Damn you got good, that's awesome!! Honestly, I would have gotten motion sick as well, I even have a hard time looking at a map in a car. Beautiful wrap, everything about it is perfect!!

Yep, Randy hasn't done it in a truck yet, LOL. Great wrap and the cab is great! Tigger

No, but I had to navigate, which means I had to interpret everything the GPS was telling us to do for the driver . Oh, and try to get the darn thing to stay stuck to the windshield, LOL. And let me add, to anyone twisting wire themselves, doing it by hand (by holding the end with a pair of pliers and twisting, I forgot to take my cordless drill on the ride), is really no comparison to using a drill, dremel, or electric mixer (like Lori). The uniform twist is such an improvement for the overall look of the finished wrap, I've found. I'll bet Randy's done lots of things in a truck! ;D Jo

That is a very cool wrap and it really shows off the cab. I hadn't realized how shiny that cab was until I saw the wrap picture! You both did a great job! Fran

Nicely done, Jo! Beautiful work. Now can you do it riding in the truck, while navagating, and whistling, with your eyes closed and rubbing your head while tapping your tummy T

This one is a beauty. That cab is gorgeous and the wrap perfect for it. Amber's pic shows all the beautiful detail and yours shows the incredable polish. Can't imagine you doing that in a moving truck. you must have fingers with a vice grip.
