Its been a while since I looked at this thread, and it all looks wicked. Everything you do is just like showcar quality.
And I was just thinking that it takes most people a couple of years to do something like this and you are doing the same quality work in a fraction of the time
Keep it up man

Damn that is dedication.

glad to see i'm not the only one that gets excited when i see this thread at the top of the main page! Looks awesome mate, I love it

Oh, and am i glad i built myself a rotiserie... makes doing the underside sooooooo much easier... sills and things are much easier too.
