uncjigga Thanks. That sounds like one sweet unit. Info is great printed and in file.
Thank you. Your unit sounds like what I would like to build in about six mts. I'm thinking about building dirt cheap uint 1st.. if something goes wrong and it's cheap no biggie start over, but with a sweet ride like yours if I screwed up I would be bummed.

Thank you so much for taking time for my request. Very cool of you!

Flanders out! 😀
