Big John, I can't imagine you not noticing that... I know you have a very keen eye for detail my friend.
I seen my error shortly after the first posting on this, and I knew I could'nt live with it. I talked to a
couple friends about it and they said who's gonna notice? My reply, I will! Glad to see I got your approval
pal... It really means alot to me!
Bill

Bill, my friend, you, and I both have a keen eye on, even if it's tiny.....details! I have been in awe of your work on this piece from the get go. I was amazed at what our Pal Chuck did with his 1/8 UCT, and you are following his footsteps with the same grace that he did. Daniel's Coffin' is another great example. I think that old fart Chuck got the ultimate juices flowing in you guys, and it's bringing out some fierce talent that is making history!!! Build on brutha.....

not to nit pick but the finiales on this , as well as the low stance and wrong wheels/tires clearly show this to be a knock off. Well done, but not the original
