Dontcha just love that fresh clean metal feeling? For me, that's where it turns the corner from rusty pos to decent project, ready to move forward. Eagerly await the next installment!

The last couple of weeks have been insane, my Grandfather has been in the hospital about non stop he is finally out and doing well, then the Holidays and my wife wanted to go see her Grandparents in Hobbs NM. I guess what I am saying is I haven't touched anything in a few weeks, its about time to cut loose and start putting in some hours, pictures coming soon !
