Thursday evening update...

Something has occurred to the boat and the best way I can describe it, since, when I needed it most, I didn't have the camera with me...is this...

O.M.G.
I promise pics before the end of the day tomorrow...

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Sorry, I'm a real dorkus mcdufus when it comes to all this new-fangled technology and it took me awhile to figure out how to send phone pics to my inbox, then to my Docs, then finally to Photobucket...

Not the best quality, and shot through the not-so-clear windows of the spray booth... but they definitely convey a certain sense of O.M.G.,

I think...:eek:

Y'all be the judge...

Are you sure that's not a full scale mockup for the new Predator VS Alien movie?
Particularly this:

I can't even find the correct verbage to describe how awesome that looks!

Maybe I'll let my bud, Dave Bowman, handle it for me:

My god, it's full of stars

Man o man, Gus. I gotta say that after all your hard work, it's nice to see the paint turn out that nice. You deserve it! I think I'm actually starting to get a little jealous! Ok. Now that the all the appropriate praises have been bestowed upon you.......get it home and DO WORK MAN!!
