    22 months later...

    Well it took me 22 months and I kept it to myself, mostly that is. The 79 Special that I have been building from the frame up. It started like this...



    And ended up like this!

      Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

      When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

                Thanks everyone for the kind words.

                The wheels have some polishing done to them but it's mostly paint. Still they were a lot of work.
