It's certainly looking good now!
Do you have a "before" photo?
Do you really need that many David Aulds?

Bugsy- it looks like he needs a 3 seat sofa more than anything else at this rate
Great collection there, so good to see the various differences

Those look so neat~!
I like the way they drove the wheels....different!
And the fact the exhaust goes where it should!
Nice job with the old girl(s).
