LOL, I've got mine in "my room" in the basement too. You can see the fishing poles and the edge of the gun cabinet in the pics. The rest of the house is "her rooms". :lol:

Thanks everyone. She's almost done now. All the jewelry is back on except the tailgate panel which I still have to polish. I'll polish the new wheels too before they go on.
