You have no idea how messy I am. I work in a messy environment until I'm done with something. Then I clean up and start all over.

As for "straight off the assembly line"... It looks a little rough in person. It's a 20 footer for sure. The paint worked out great. But the body work on the "homemade" solo tail is shoddy at best. It's the right shape and all the angles are there. But it's got some dips and valleys and is just overall poor quality work. But hey, I'm ok with it. And despite the obvious lack of skill in the tail, I'm still a little proud of it.

So, thanks, I appreciate the compliment. And the scolding on the messy garage. ;)

Looking very sharp, something to be proud of. Watching out for the control knob on your compressor, I have the same model and the threads like to strip out. Happened to me and my friends that had the same controls.

Thanks. It's getting there. I'll have to drag it out of the garage and get some better shots of it, with something other than an iphone, once I figure out how to mount that silly headlight.

Thanks.

I haven't had any problems with mine, so far anyway. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the heads up.
