Looks great! I bet you have a real feeling of accomplishment. Can't wait till the day that I can throw the switch on mine for the first time. Now it's time to make some chips with yours!

Beautifully done......I can't believe it is finished within what..... 2 months of your possession?

What is your choice of paint?

I'm using the same paint and color, but for some reason yours looks darker? Maybe it's the flourescent lights in my shop.
