    It's not as straight as I wanted. It is actually called Glacier blue metallic. It has a steel blue cast to it. I'll take some more pics when it is cured out.

    It's a 50 footer but it is planned to be driven a lot.

    Shooting for it. I have been telling Mick that I am coming to his show for 5 years.

    This car was built for Mama Root. Now maybe she will get off my back.
