Thanks Bro!

Sorry the pics are so HUGE....no way to resize them on ship....got em off my thumbdrive. If someone could help me out.....I'd appreciate it!!! Don't wanna take up too much space...I'm sure the pics are over the size limit.

Sweat rides, I will have to show your truck pic to a friend who has a 37. He's going to dig the chop. You should get a album going on your public profile. Welcome to the HAMB. Take care over sea's if that's where your headed. By the look of your rides, their in for one rude awakening.

Advice: Take your time, if you don't know what your doing....have someone with experience help you along the way...and take copious notes!! Oh, and have plenty of PBR on ice,

I had a 87 year old guy help me with my chop......he also taught me to melt lead :D
