I truly hope Gregg is taking serious note of this build, and arranging a photography session worthy of the exquisite artistry and incredible talent displayed in this thread.

This build could be an entire issue all by itself!!

WooHoo He's back... and he brought killer doors with him... ;):D

Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship Randy. It's inspiring.

Yeah, Randy is blowing EVERYONE away with his skills. Sorry to be a pest with these nudges, but the anticipation of seeing updates is too much! Don't know if you realize it, but your building a modeling benchmark. This is reference-quality building.

A scale Chip Foose or Steve Strope if you will.....Great work! welder.gif
