Meticulously and accurately restored over our vendor's 13 years ownership with invoices
Finished in the correct shade of Olive Drab with accurate US stencils
Very well detailed with the appropriate tools (Collins axe and Ames shovel). Very impressive

Starts on the button and drives really well. Paperwork and photographs to document the restoration
