So paint took a lot longer than I'd wanted. It's still alive and kicking though...

Very nice... I hate dealing with paint. Always takes longer and costs more than intended!

I always wanted one of these when a high school buddy had one as a daily driver bck in the early 70's, but this is a whole new kettle of fish! This is going to be an absolute blast to drive.

I am totally smitten. I see 2 distinct challenges ahead. #1 keeping rear tires on it and #2 staying out of jail!
