    Very cool! It's good to have gear head friends. I like how they were able to steal things without him even knowing. Cool bunch of guys. :2thumbs:

    A phenomenal story.  Sure it sounds familiar, but it doesn't detract at all from what they did - honoring a friend and a soldier by giving of their own time, talent and treasure.

    That thing looked and sounded great, too.  I liked how they all signed his sun visor.

    Great job.

    That is very cool they did that for him. :2thumbs:  I still love Don's story though 'cause it was done with a car that had no prior work completed and Don didn't even know about it until he was at Carlisle. :cheers:

    I wish I would have been around when you guys did Don's car. I would have loved to contribute. Being ex-military myself, I know the code, we take care of each other. Plus it sounds like it was one hell of a good time. All good and no bad. :2thumbs:
