Just wanna say, i started with 59 pictures until i was notified only 25 were allowed.. lmao. If anyone wants to see more of the process of throwing it back together, let me know. I've got plenty of pictures!

Looks good, of course we wanna se more pictures :thumbup:

Nice build, I can't wait to start my own soon.

Any update on this build? Wow they really didn't miss even a single inch in doing this build right!
