Very nice indeed! I really like the red/white/black theme you have going on Mike. Did you source the ali screws from AE or did you get them from one of the bulk online fastener suppliers? Also, do you have a body and paint theme in mind yet?

I was actually rather surprised that the body turned out as good as it did as i suck at painting and it is rattle canned.
