Thank you Jim and Tom! It's been amazing to witness it all.

My family recently went on vacation. Getting the whole bunch of us together in the same house is a chore, so a trip together is a really big deal. And it has been something we have been looking forward to for a while now. We stayed at a nice little cabin in the Great Smokey Mountains. Nice cabin, nice location, amazing scenery... love it up there. The wooded areas are not a lot different than my back yard, but getting there is a might bit steeper lol. In all the years we've been, we have only seen about 2 bears. These were off in the distance and hard to make out. Well... our luck changed. This year we saw bear daily.. multiple days, multiple bears, multiple times a day... on the side of the road. In the fields. Climbing trees.. even one morning I walked out on the back porch to drink my coffee only to discover a mama bear and 4 cubs... She looked at us a couple times, but really paid us no attention at all. She even stopped to nurse for a moment and kinda looked around as if she was showing off her babies. It was a nice memory for us all to share for years to come... On the last night there, we decided to grill out. I was cooking hamburgers while sitting on the front steps, drinking a Mt. Dew, and scrolling through some pictures on my phone. While looking at some of the pics, I got a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye. As I turned there was a bear strolling around the front of my parents SUV... reactions and reflexes kicked in... I immediately jumped up and said "oh s...!" At this moment the bear saw me... stopped dead in his tracks,seemingly saying the same thing. The reason I say this is because at that very moment, we both took off... in a hard run... in opposites directions... I can only imagine him running off saying "shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot" as that is exactly what I was saying as I went across the porch into the house. Ofcourse curiosity got the better of us all, as we ended up on the back porch looking for him and he came strolling back and hung out around the deck for a while before heading out. It was a great trip, with lots of memories that we will enjoy, reminisce and laugh about for years... one being the day I found out, a growling dog doesn't bother me... but a bear looking for a burger is a whole different story.

It's been quite a while since I've posted an update... work work work... on to the important stuff... Jacob has continued to improve greatly. He drives wherever whenever he wants. He has even started working at Taco Bell. In May he got baptized. We went on our yearly family vacation to the mountains... oh the bear stories we'll have to fondly look back on... He is back to his normal laugh at everything self. Only difference is, he talks sooooo much more. And much like his old man, it's not always peachy and cream... But it has been and is great!! A week from today, he goes in for what we hope will be his only other surgery. They will be putting in the implant to raise his eye back into position. And also doing a little work on his scar tissue while they're in it. He should only have to be hospitalized for one day, then it's recover time. Unfortunately, this will throw his vision off again... in the other direction. They 100% believe his brain will work out the un-level sight just like before... oh I hope so...

I dig that.. nicely done

Nice job

I understand that. Looks good either way!

Very nicely done Mike. Enjoyed watching this come together and the finished product looks great. I kinda dig the chrome trim. Gives a "higher end" look. Just curious, was there a lip to add it to the back windows?

Awesome job on the story once again Mike! Never get tired of these... headed to see the finished project.

That's looking great. Red gives me the biggest fits of all the colors. Good job.

I hope the model master auto lacquer... And one coat line for that matter... don't get discontinued. I use them almost exclusively.

Very nicely done. Where did you get the boot?

Looking good, Mike. You always seem to take a kit I have no interest in and make it interesting. Diggin the story as well!

Very interesting. I kinda dig it... Nice job

these 2 have my attention also... hubba hubba

I'm still messing with mine for the most part. It will be a curbside. Just wanting it to resemble mine... But this has me intrigued. Can you tell me about making this work? I want to build one to represent what I wanted to do with it.

Very nicely done!

Very interesting. I'll be following along.
