Yup I believe the plan is for him to do everything.  He's the guy who got her all gorgeous and fine-tuned BEFORE she wrecked.  He showed me the "before" pictures yesterday...  wowwww...  so pretty!

So...  I hope to get to see it....

I helped re-cover a couple of Champs and it's really not bad if you know how--I was just assisting a very knowledgeable mechanic who made it look easy |:)\

We used buterate dope which can be quite an experience in itself ::silly::  ::knockedout::
