I love that raw aluminum look. I think mirror polished aluminum is nice looking but I like what you have going on there. Nice job!

Got her all deconstructed after sparking her up . Start of many little things to clean up. Hope you don't get bored with all the photos. I like all the pics on this site ---so it's payback time.
