Melissa, I did find the old threads for your refin, but the pictures are not accessible anymore. If they can ever be posted by your or Paul again, I'd love to see them. I'd love to see what the original looked like.
The initial indoor pictures that you took after you got it were in that thread, but like Paul says they don't do the 481 justice, especially compared the outdoor shots that you've posted here. Really stunning.
Here are a couple more pics from a very fun and busy weekend! These were taken at Sunday morning's Waterfront Worship service.
Notice the lovely 4001V63 played by my friend Billy D!
I think my wardrobe selection for the morning was PERFECT, LOL! I saw the dress on the rack outside of one of our local shops, and I knew it was meant to be....
"Once I've held and played the best, baby, I won't settle for less!"
I am proud and happy that my work is so appreciated and, apparently, inspires Melissa to her own creative ends!

I might bring the purple dress just for fun.... It's very cool and comfortable in the hot weather we've been having, and I'm sure it will be even hotter in California!
BTW, Greg, I've got a bunch of pics that Paul sent me of the restoration, but it will take some time to get them shrunk down to Forum size.... Perhaps Paul has some that are ready-to-post?
