Our mailbag is buzzing with some great listener mail, like one from Rock Rozak at Detail and Scale about their release of the P-51 Mustang book series, or a short discussion on decluttering, inspired by Jake McKee's keepsake dilemma, and Ville Jurvanen's journey to polish skills with shiny 2K clear coats.
