Went thru your build from the beginning to refresh my mind and was inspired once again. You have definitely had your share of challenges along the way which makes seeing this beautifully shot paint even more special. You have done a beautiful job on this build every step of the way. Congratulations on your beautiful paint, and thanks ,I thanks for the great step by step build thread, It's educational and inspiring.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. It's always nice to hear so much positive feedback on your hard work. A lot of blood, sweat, and beers...(Richard Rawlings) lol

thanks Jim! I honestly couldn't have done all this without the great members on this forum. You guys have more knowledge than any book I know.

And one more thanks to all the Men and women who served. Without them, I wouldn't have the freedom to work on this jalopy
