This is one of the best threads!  It's been so great to be able to follow your progress and now you're so close to a huge milestone. Good work man.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

As Tony the Tiger would say..."That looks GREAAAAT!!!   :2thumbs:  It's going to look even better once it's wet sanded.  The color is really going to pop once the organisol is sprayed on the tail.
