Looks just like a HELLPEG car!! :o




Congrats Man, that's gotta be getting you pretty excited, huh? :yesnod:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I don't know about the rest of you guys & gals, but it makes me feel great to see a car that was so far gone be brought back to life. I hate to let any of them go!!  You guys give me inspiration to finish my "old rust bucket". Thanks, and keep the updates coming. :2thumbs:

Great progress.  Your steering wheel looks to be in great shape.  Keep it protected as they are worth a ton!

Keep the progress pics coming!
