drhemlock2 Posted May 23, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 23, 2021 I plan on dropping everything had going and getting this ship on the build table. using Alex's plans which I got in full surprise to me, thanks Alex let me know if I owe you anything. bear with me people as I am a disabled vet USAF with only one usable arm. luckily it is my left arm that is damaged. I am learning to do everything with my right hand and arm with a small assist from my left hand when I can. I have to type one-fingered I will try and spell check as best I can. thanks wish me luck James🙃 Chuck Seiler, GrandpaPhil, ccoyle and 5 others 8 Quote RIP dad 10 apr 2010 RIP my dog "Copper" BBF 24 june 2013 when in question build it yourself at least the first time. when a clamp is needed "Ducktape it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
