Interesting color.  Will it be two-toned?

No, I am going single tone. Building it as if someone ordered it for more go than show. Will have poverty caps and a supercharged V-8.

No wonder you had to skip on the fancy stuff. Why at $.24 a gallon, a person will just be able to afford to not do much more than  go to the bank, before filling up.  Besides those fancy bits are just too much trouble here in the real world. Confused

I have removed my original message, as it no longer serves any useful purpose.

 

The pm was lost in the ether; But your post, above, is all that is necessary for me.
