That's a crackin [pun intended] good looking vintage, Mike.
The faded pepsi adds just the right vibe.

Thanks everyone! I am swamped at work, and deer season came in on Sunday, so I haven't had time to post, but I appreciate you all checking in. To say I am thrilled with this GMT is an understatement.

Thanks, Kyle. I took your advice and have started taking my pics in direct sunlight. I need a better camera where I can manually manipulate it more easily, but they are getting better.
