Cool, I talked to Trevor the other day and he had mentioned it. This will be cool, are you going to show or keep a budget?

Sounds like a good idea. When you get it fixed up and it gets time to do the next project let me take that one off your hands. I was going to go with a Mustang race car but I got tired of it before even driving it so it will go to my son.
