You have the patience of several saints. I’m a pretty patient guy but this was beginning to wear on me but progress is coming along nicely now so I’m pleased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look very cool. They aren’t due until January but I’ve sat in a set before and they were pretty comfortable but snug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradleyh_15 Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 Some more movement on paint, but never the less issues I bought the side skirts 2 years ago prior to it getting sent in for paint.
