Looks like a whole lot of $%*T talking and not alot of progress pics. Whats the deal Dennis. You told us you got the plates, that 6.0 should be in the chassis by tonight. We need progress pics, were dying out here.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

$6,795.00


LOL, just PM me a mailing address. I'm going to make a handful for right now and just send them to whoever needs them for whatever shipping costs. However, there is the possibility of a "Glock LS swap kit" in the near future.
