Re: 78 vking resto
Looks like you're getting close. I found it funny how long all the small details took at the end, as soon as I thought I was almost done I found something else that needed to be done.

Re: 78 vking resto
Sweet we are getting snow tomorrow so take a little longer on the water for us please. Watch out it was on my first ride in the viper when I decided I would do it all again.
