Saw your motor out and painted on FB, I would've come and help so I knew what to expect when I pulled my 300.

Planning and working on this thing has been pretty spur of the moment type of stuff because of Aaron and I's schedules. It's been tough to "plan" anything really.

Haha, I hear ya. I have been pretty busy. Haven't had much time to post any pictures. I will get to them as soon as I can. My camera is sitting at the shop, and we are on an "intermission", if you will, so I will get to it soon.

Thought I'd put the pictures I have taken with my phone on here so you've got something to look at.




Plenty more to come from a good camera, when I get around to it.
