Hey, I understand about the sllloooowww process! I work between 10-16 hours a day 5-7 days a week (depends on week!) and the only time I have to work on my junk is when I have the energy! Three small boys and a wife take most of my time when not working.. Brian, I can really appreciate the time and energy you have. I am in my early 30's and nothing seems to come easy to me anymore. I have SO much to learn, not the least of which is patience! Looks like good progress to me and like Mike said, at least you saved a good fender and didn't have to use a repro one! Keep it up!!
