Codi Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Oh for cryin' out loud. How DO you do this? John, you must build 12 (possibly more?) HIGH quality & diverse builds a year and they're each stunning in their imagination and execution. Nobody could/can or will match you for such productivity. What a treat man and just want to say that the "bones" on this car are wonderful. Cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
