Default Mission Accomplished!

A little over 18 months ago my then 16 yr old son and I started on a rust bucket that now resembles a nice car. I promised him he would be able to drive it to his Senior prom...and we did it! What a sense of accomplishment. It was worth every freakin hour spent. Check it out....
