    It seems to take forever to finish up a car, there is always something else to do. I have been working on this one since October which doesnt sound so long but once you add up the hours....geez.

    Anyway, I am heading to Montana for vacation and had to stop work on the car till I get back so I thought I would post an update on the Mav. So far I am extremely happy with how it is turning out. I hope to have it at the Round-up but it will all depend on money. Its come a long way..... Thanks to everyone on this board!! I appreciate all the advice, input and articles everyone has posted, I couldn't have done it without you.....

    Thanks all. I value your opinions above all others! I hope to have this thing streetable the week after I get back so I can work out any problems before the Round-Up. Not sure if I will make it yet but I am trying...
