By popular demand, some more "before" shots. (Okay, rootboy was the only one, but that's more "popular demand" than I usually get.) You can see some of the chips and scrtches, and you can see that the tippy-tops of the seat lug were bent. Ed Litton trimmed and reshaped them - you can't tell they were ever any different.

Ed used to work with Eisentraut (they made Rainbow 'Trauts together and shared space to build their own customs for a bit) and they are about a 20 minute drive away from each other, so Ed was able to get the decals from Albert. I have no idea about more general availability.

Ed Litton did a real nice job on it.
If/when Rich gets it built, we all should get together and go for a promenade.
Going for a "promenade" -- I like that idea. "I'm not slow; I'm on a promenade." Yeah, that's the ticket . . . .
Hey, wait a minute. What's that crack about "if" I build it up . . . ?
