    Very nice job! Like many of the others said, great color!

    However, we need more pictures. You can't just post one picture on your graduation announcement. She looks too nice to only have a single picture!!

    Mark,

    Graduation is the post you make when you complete your build. Tradition states is must be titled, registered, painted, have plates and a finished interior.

    slpro,

    It was great meeting you this past weekend and your car looks TERRIFIC! Enjoy the miles of smiles and we'll see you in HB!
