That's great. Did you need to clean it up quite a bit before the show?

Before we won my wife kept giving me a hard time and telling me she wished I worked as hard inside the house cleaning as I did cleaning on the car. She now says that she won't complain as much.
Thanks for the nice comments everyone.
