    Yes you did! chaseloc and I ran into each other and we're talking about that. Going between multiple forums hard to keep up were I see things  :D and thanks for that link I don't have a welder so this seem to be my best route

    Can't wait to see your build when u start. Chaseloc you get your tires and goodies installed yet? And I will look for the link but not sure how to link via my phone I don't have internet at my house for a desktop,not yet anyways. Have to do the vids at my sister-in-laws so I might have to go there to post link
