Oh my goodness. Congrats man. I bet you are having a hard time taking your eyes off it to go to bed. Just in time too, I've been jonesin' for a Dennis the Menace update. That color looks great, so much more interesting than just "red", you know. Can't wait to see it all trimmed out.

One of the nicest square bowties I have seen! Interior looks great. Keeping the stock wheel?

Fire up your buffer, Holmes. They looked like they were in pretty good shape. The ones I put in my truck weren't refinished, just hit them with Hot Rimz and they look OK.
