I have restoration photos from far earlier that show how much you love your job. The more things change the more they remain the same. I think the old "restorations" were much better. I will have to figure out how to post pics and send in some photos of me with some of the Plane-Girls.com gals.

I wonder how much that costs per hour to operate? You can fill in the blanks as to if I'm asking about the airplane or the hood ornament. :D
