I thought I'd go back to basics with a Manual Floor Starter.

That's a heel of a theft deterrent! most kids couldn't figure that out if they had to! Throw in a 3 on the tree and it would never move!

That's wicked! Show a couple from the inside! My 49 has one of those. Can't wait to get it done to try it out! Never worked one of those before!

What made you want to do that?
