First off, thanks to FRANKO289 and Jon for the upgrade to a Contributor...it's been much too long since I've been one...

And now for the build thread!!!

First pics. The Craigslist Posting found by a good friend of mine. He recieved over 100 calls on it that day that he posted it. I was the first to see it and made him an offer. He accepted it...

This was all started on January 25th of 2010...
