    Good Evening Moobsie........ thank you sir for your gracious remarks....... this build is going to be easy to top, I'll just build the next one on top of this one , I know ,it's a corny joke but, laugh anyway !!

    Hi Aldo, Happy Easter.......... nice to see you back in the saddle again, really sharp work on the bitts ,It's going to be areal winner when you finish her up. Thanks for your remarks on my post.
