Me too, me too..........I would really like to see it....... I will try and get some from him...he has taken photos throughout (has an entire album) I was over at his place for a bbq last night, think he said he is over 1000 hours worked on it now. Four years ago it looked ready for the scrap heap, now, gorgeous. I know where Juli gets her stubborness from I'll post them in a separate thread, meanwhile, keep up the great work on this resto!!
