    More updates...

    Now they are working on the stuff I've asked them to do on my dime.

    Rocker Panel being fixed and paint work on the rear arches to clean up the stone chips on them.

    Bonnet and bumper all freshly painted and looking good.

    Your going to have to get Chuck to make you a garage so it stays shinny and new looking.

    Or at least get a cover for it.
