I said the same thing about mine! Wish I was smart about it like Kirk and made two because I need to make another one now and not looking forward to it :lol:

Not much to update but I want to get started again.
I've been working on a 1948 Willys truck for a friend and that should be done for awhile.
I did cut out those stupid little tail lights for the better option of 1978 Chevy van lights :o
