Think about it this way. In the past six years, the thing has gone up in value enough to pay for another paint job and then some.

Every cloud has a silver lining!

are ya just being pickie on the paint job or is it that bad???? i suppose if ya feel disheartened by it you wont build it as it will always be ****ing ya off.....get it redone and rebuild it....great to see another one on the road again
