Its SLOWLY progressed into somewhat of a shape of a part of an airplane. Having a buddy crash his in my visual presence didn't help progress at all. He was in the hospital for 11 weeks and passed away due to heart failure. Really the whole situation hit me hard. Restless nights, thinking about the crash since I was supposed to fly with him and changed airplanes at the last minute. I can tell you that decision saved my life. There wouldn't be a Stevo typing this message today. Ok, enough of the rambling. Here are some shots of my progress!<br /><br /> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/av8erstevo/IMG_0120.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/av8erstevo/IMG_0005.jpg" alt=" - " /><br />End result in a few years!<br /> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/av8erstevo/DR-3.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br />Here's a couple shots of my Apartment workshop!<br /> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/av8erstevo/IMG_0014.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/av8erstevo/IMG_0083-1.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /> <br /> <small>[ July 17, 2009, 05:33 PM: Message edited by: Stevo ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>50 Deep</b> <br /><small>Member # 6216</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,6,17,17,32,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> stevo im lost. i see a beer for one and i think beer and building airplanes dont mix.
