    Congratulations Mark on a battle well fought. I know full well about these projects. They will wear you down over time, but you won!
    Another fantastic job! It'll all be worth it when you see it on display in Detroit.
    Again, congratulations on a job well done!

    Well if it's too small for you pass it along to me. A lot of vehicles I get in I can't get the seat to go close enough to use the peddles properly.

    Mark, it looks GREAT...at least it's way better than when I last saw it when I was over dropping off that Sun distributor machine you got from me...you should call me sometime, it'd be great to see you again and hang out...and I can push a broom like nobody's business...

    yeah, I was a little afraid of that 45 year old decal and how well it was going to work but it was just fine. I had some repops made and was going to use 1 of them until 1 of my buddies said "its the real car use the real decal" he was right

    Well done. I think I still have a magazine with the original build and I think it looks better now.

    You do awsome work. Is that Ranchero one of your future restos? Looks to be in awesome shape for such an old custom.
