PICT0016-2.jpg

I'm not sure if I'm disturbed, or jealous, I may just be permanently scarred. this one goes along with my "no speedo's for men over 12 unless you're on the Olympic Swim, or Diving Team, and only at the meet" rule, and my "no tube tops for girls who weigh more than 175lbs". :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

After letting it sit the suggested half hour with the stripper on it, i took it up to the quarter carwas and pressurewashed off all the acidy gunky paint mess..
then got caught up in building and got here...
