hello. my name is cam. i just wanted you to know that your checkmate vmate 1 is in my mind the perfect example of what a vintage high performance checkmate should be. me and my dad restored a vmate 2 as closely to yours as we could. i would like to show you pictures of it so you can see. find me on facebook, my name on there is cam crysler and my profile picture is my vmate 2 and a mx15 next to each other in the water.
