                That will take some time - but I will start working on it. Posting pictures seems to challenge me beyond belief.

                      I'd say it goes very well indeed! Folks - what you may not be able to tell from the pics is that this car is show-worthy and yet driven frequently. Love it!

                        122,702 since we built it!

                        And thanks for the complement on it's looks. Its better from a few feet but given it gets driven - it still looks pretty good.

                          Looks like an awesome trip! To be honest, I’m completely tired of only having vacation once or, at most, twice a year. Every time I almost have to ask my boss for days off, which feels a bit stifling. In the middle of my life, I decided it was time for a change, so I started learning web development with the help of resources like https://www.corelangs.org/css/basics/id-selectors/​. I’m excited about this new path and believe it will open up many opportunities for me. My goal is to build a career that allows me the freedom to travel whenever I want, without the constraints of a traditional job. I envision myself working remotely, exploring new destinations, and experiencing different cultures. I hope that by next year, I can confidently quit my current job and embrace a lifestyle that prioritizes adventure and exploration. This journey into web development feels like the first step toward achieving that dream!​

                            Great pics , looks like it was a excellent road trip. I remember when you were planning on repainting it back when it was flat black . And you were really putting the work into the body and I said , " Man you should paint it shiney black . Still looks amazing.
