Got off my ass today and got productive. Bought a shop vac and finally gave her a good cleaning. She may be rusty, but she's "clean".

Washed her. She looks good wet.

This is gonna be awesome !    All i see is potential 

 

 Everytime I check this build i start thinking of ideas and options and i get all excited with the option list . But before I get deeep enough into my daydream. My head starts to hurt like a instant headache and i start have flashes of unfinished projects that i have yet to finish for this year . Despite my brain trying to keep me on task, i still find myself considering build directions .
