man, I am so glad to hear how positive you are!! I think personally, I would have been devastated after all that time and energy and would be spending my time trying to figure out ways of connecting extra tygon to my muffler and shutting the garage door. . .
my hats off to you for seeing the bright side of life and getting back on the road with it!
On a side note, I swear that side shot of your door panel into the inside - there's no acrylic there huh? It's just empty?
