John,

And now I have see it on your car, I want to incorporate it onto a future restoration too, it looks clean and well executed retaining original function but significantly modernizing form. 

Thanks for sharing.

   John,
   And now I have see it on your car, I want to incorporate it onto a
   future restoration too, it looks clean and well executed retaining
   original function but significantly modernizing form.
   Thanks for sharing.
