Photos!

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

[cstmwgn]

Well, lets see how this goes

Did you leave " the stiff Grandma" at the relatives ?

[DanStokes]

Well, lets see how this goes

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.

Those photos are absolutely stunning! Seeing them has me even more excited about our upcoming trip—we’ve just finalized our decision to visit Qatar in September 2025. It’s going to be a completely new experience for us, and I can’t wait to explore everything the country has to offer. Right now, I’m in the early stages of planning, booking flights and hotels, and figuring out all the travel requirements. I just learned that we’ll need a visa, which can be easily arranged online at https://e-visa-qatar.com/, so I’m taking care of that as well. I’ve been researching things to do, from modern city attractions to more traditional cultural experiences, and it looks like there’s so much to see! I’m especially looking forward to exploring Doha, visiting the famous Souq Waqif, and hopefully checking out some of Qatar’s beautiful beaches.

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.
