Nice, it sure looks great, and the new paint on the trailer is a good match.

By the way, if you don't mind my asking, how much did that classic run you? And, What have you put in to spruce her up? (Besides your time and energy) And, what would you say she is worth now? J/C
She sure looks nice now though, a really clean classic. |
