That really looks great, Dennis. How long before it's on the street? Going to make your goal?

It has been a while Dennis, I have been finishing up another project. All i can say is Dayum, it is bad to the bone my friend. Talk about some motivation. Can't wait for the videos, I bet it sounds super sweet.
