Mitch thanks for sharing love the pictures of the planes your workmanship is impressive to say the least.

[pAAt]

Mitch, is there a story behind Lucy ? Seems there's a great story behind every A ! Thanks for the picture show. Pat

[Mitch]

Pat, yes there is a HUGE story behind Lucy which could take me a week to write..

[pAAt]

Don't miss anything and take your time writing it out !! I'll read it tomorrow Pat

[Mitch]

[Big hammer]

Beautiful auto, Beautiful workmanship! Thanks for your time!

[A-doctor]

Outstanding job Mitch

[Mitch]

This formula for the ford maroon was scanned as a perfect match to the official paint book chip. It's the same as a more modern color called Midnight Cordovan, this was mixed using PPG Deltron 2000. See the can for details

[George Miller]

Very nice job. workmanship is out standing.

[Mitch]

Thanks George

[Curly]

Mitch, is there a story behind Lucy ? Seems there's a great story behind every A ! Thanks for the picture show. Pat

i was going to ask the same thing. That car is just perfect.

[Mitch]

There is a story but it's very long

[DaWizard]

And we are still waiting for you to tell it!

[Mitch]

It would be like writing a novel to much typing

[George Miller]

Mitch you have my truck beat by a mile. You do very nice work. And I know it is not easy to do.

[Mitch]

Hey George thanks for the kind words, and it is amazing what everyone accomplishes here. Combined as a group there is a hell of a lot of talent.

[George Miller]

Hey George thanks for the kind words, and it is amazing what everyone accomplishes here. Combined as a group there is a hell of a lot of talent.

That is for sure, not much that could not be done as a group.
