It's just my opinion Danny.Certainly it takes skill and talent to do the work you have posted.But I think more than anything,it takes great vision of how a person wants a project to look.That I think is almost never learned.(If ever)Danny I think you have great vision and I think that is rare.Congrats on what you have finshed so far and just keep it coming.You are something very special. =D> =D> =D>

^what he said.

Dont let that honda sit next to the stro for too long, the van will start to rust.

thanks you Gary on the kind comment!
it really makes all the time and effort really worth it when somone takes the time to read all the info look at the pics and really understands how much work this is not to just half do the project just to get it on the road.
I'm sure you know how much can be hacked being from a race car team i used to look at other racers and i was young and just go "oh my" and with custom cars you see the same stuff.
I am just REALLY fortunate for some amazing friends and a understanding dad.
