Started this in September of 2010. I was just going to freshen it up a bit and paint it. Ended up off the pan for a complete rebuild. IPhone pictures...sorry.

Actually it is people like you I should be thanking.  Scott, your talent is an inspiration to me and I wish I possessed some of it like you do.  It is because of guys like you that I'm back in it today and having such a good time, so THANK YOU.......
