Right on! It's been a while since I've done any of the larger boats, as our business in TN closed in 2008, and we're just getting things underway here of course. I've gotta find out how to use this scanner-thingy-ma-jiggy, because I've got a ton of old school photos of boats we completed, but my grandfather doesn't even know what a Digital Camera is barely,

Thanks Donnie! It was cool to shoot the breeze with you guys too; even if it was only for a few minutes! We're definitely going to be hitting all the spots next week - so you've gotta get out! We're flying my 14 y/o cousin in from TN (he's got the '01 Cobra w/the Vortech on it), and we're going to show him a couple car shows up here in Hernando, and try to get him down to at least SunShine while he's here on his Spring Break.

Well, to be honest, money can't buy you love... But his mama seems to think it does. It's her way of "parenting" him - by showering him with gifts instead of giving him attention, affection, etc. And unfortunately, it's corrupted my cousin - and we're moving him to FL to break him of the habits she has started...

On a side note, I wish he was more like you Largo5.0; works for what he has, respects his elders, respects his car, respects the time it takes to build a car the way you want, etc. I want him to meet you, and to take a little bit of your work ethic and respect for himself!

You keep doin' what you're doin' man, and you'll meet all your dreams brother!

To be honest, my car is more than I could have ever dreamed before I owned it. There was a time were all I cared about was that the car I would own would be fast, regardless of what it looked like. Now its almost the complete opposite outlook for me. When you are handed something, you'll never respect it like you would if you had worked for it. Theres nothing better than someone admiring something that you created, not bought. No problem here as far as meeting up with the kid, letting him check out my car and what not. Thanks for the compliments man, I try my best to maintain an image like you described.

On another note, the more work I see from you guys, the more it makes me want to get started on my interior! Looks great as always!
