Steve,
I agree with all other comments so far, this has to be one if not the one of a kind full Eagle restoration project ever I have seen. I am sure when completed it will be innovative to many to consider some of your great ideas you incorporated. I love that pretty gray color of the framing too, HEhe!!

See you at Palmetto Cove in about a month, hope Eric will come with his coach also.

Hey Buddy,
Thanks for the good words there Gary. Yes Deb and I were just talking of you guys. We are looking forward to the Cove also. We will catch up when we get settled there. By the way can you check on the back of the instrument panel and see If you can make out my Vin to give conformation to Manny of his Vin location. I will call you soon. See you at the Cove......

Steve, That's funny, I was trying to figure out who that was. It didn't make any sense, now it does! :lol: I'll see if I can change it sometime this week, don't know if it's possible or not.

Between you, Gary and Wayne, I wonder who will make it to the finish line first! 8-)
