Hey Bill,
Will you be keeping it original or fix it up custom style?

big blue 72 · 09-11-2007, 08:34 AM

I thought all you did was dismantle them Bill.
Do you know how to put one back together?

ChevyC102007 · 09-11-2007, 08:46 AM

billsbowtie · 09-11-2007, 12:08 PM

Awaiting your build any time your ready, let the fun begin.
