Great entries! They all look great, and like a lot of work. Very creative webspinner, with the flamingo "nite light".

Sounds fun!

Here's a few pictures from our shell-on (except for that 5 minutes when it wasn't) restoration.

Surprisingly, these two pictures don't look that different. I can assure you they ARE: latex paint scraped, new Zolatone applied, cabinets refinished... and the list goes on.

1976 Sovereign - Gutted and brought back!

1976 Sovereign center bath - completed gutted. Custom cabinets, deep freeze used as a refrigerator, all new LED lights, butcherblock countertops... only the best for our home! Thanks for all the help Airforums members - you made this possible!
