    Exactly why I want to get mine painted in the next few weeks, before the damp starts settling into the primer!

  16. I'm at 16 months. My initial goal was to finish in a year, but that came and went, and I still haven't done all the welding. Haha.

    Nice work by the way, and those wheels are immense.
