Default oh so close....

It was 17 months ago that my son and I started this project. I had a very productive weekend, (with the help of a vacation day Friday). Almost like the t.v. programs! I was on a roll.... all that's left is to work out the "bugs"...and apply the rocker stripe.. If you want to see some of the build pics, shout out... (I did all the work myself...well, 99 percent of it!) I'd love to post them! Here are a few "before and after pics"....

She is gorgeous! One that clean shouldn't have too many "bugs" in it.
17 months? Man, I've been sitting on mine for 3 years (And haven't really started, still collecting parts).

Good luck getting her purring.
