    It’s too perfect for me. I’d be afraid of damaging it just walking past.

    Beautiful!

    Beautiful work. The color looks very vintage, sort of cordovan. Does it match or is it based on a specific model year/color? I like it.

    I mixed the color myself... I'd had it in mind for a long time. But my love for Swiss chocolate certainly had a big influence as well.

    Nice Smilestone...congratulations @tom-oldi ...are those amber lights bright enough for night driving. You guys probably have deer everywhere too...you need all the light you can get. I went from old twenties big car lights to Hi/Lo sealed beam 2D1's clear not tinted...and was pretty impressed with much more confidence too.
