Yikes I Care, Looks like ya had a couple rough days, with the formica and the trail-lite kit. Things can only get better. Keep up the awesome job!
i care too brian. mostly that your metal is going to look so much better than mine! that formica nightmare really stinks. i have some cigarette burns on mine and some gashes, but am able to still use it. i think you are going to find something authentic though seeing that you are so thorough.
