OLDYELLOW Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 looking good will save you money long term no need to paint and will protect the wood long term
gd Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Looks very nice but would be no good for me in the summer , too bright with the sun on it would do me eyes no good , bad enough keeping an eye out on race day without being unable to look at the loft JMO
