havent been on in what seems like forever, but I am still alive. been making quite a bit of progress with out street rod shop(M&M Custom Finishes). collision has been keeping us quite busy on our collision side(M&M Truck & Autobody)...hopefully nobody here has had the unfortunate encounters like I've seen.
anyway, figured I'd share some picture that I recently uploaded of completed cars,with some people I figured would enjoy/appreciate them.
there are many more, but I don't want to clutter this thread, if you guys would like to see more, let me know and I'll put up my own thread.

i'd love to say they are MINE, but they are cars/trucks we've done the paint and body on at the shop I work at now. That is out 'street rod/restoration' side..M&M Custom Finishes, and we have our collision shop..M&M Truck and Autobody.
The last 2 are my personal favorites, but I believe at the moment we have 21 more out there that have won multiple trophies, and a few more that are just driven and not really shown. I have quite a few pictures I've taken at work, but we just got a website set up, nothing fancy but these days you gotta have one..check it out it you'd like. I can put up more pics upon request, I'll warn you tho...we do a lot of 'off brand' vehicles(a tri-5, 37 chevy truck, 34 chevy truck, 65 dodge polara, 70 duster, 61 buick invicta, 37? ****** gasser, and more)
you can see more at M&M Custom Finishes, Wellman Iowa

Well had ot get the scope on the muzzle loader replaced and wow was it off, wasn't even on paper at 15yrs (ended up having to move approx 45" worth to get on paper) but at least I have it fairly close so when it's clean and I have fresh powder I can get it dialed in.
The 7mm mag that I just bought was off 8" high and 4" left. Playing with some handloads on the light end since just got the rifle. using 139gr hornady SST and Reloader 19 ended up at 2750fps, using R22 was around 2780 (load table shows 2950 and 2920 but I am using a gas operated auto loader) So it does appear to like the R22 better but will try upping both and see where it ends up. But even at that both powders were giving approx 3/4" or less groups at 100yrds.
