Dutch looking great who did the plate i wouldnt mind sending mine to get done was it repainted or just cleaned and clear coated?

[Dutch_Diver]

Shane, Jurgen did it himself....was just cleaned...I dont't even think clear coated!

Ask Esme (aka "Jurgen Grand Slam"), she will have the details and is now on the forum.

[Jurgen Grand Slam]

Hey There Dutch, or is that "Frankie Boy"???

Hope you have agreat flight!!! Come back to what I would like to name your baby " Polar Babe", or something like that.

JUST KIDDING - you should actually name her "King J's Polar Babe", as he has had so much fun redoing her.We love your visits on Saturdays and it is so cool that we can wind him up by using the mugs that you gave us!!!!
