Re: Playing with an idea

[Jacob Fox <imfast101@xxxxxxxxx>]

Oh yea I have all the tools, hoists and stands from back in my chevy days. Lol I just bought a house and I live alone so I got plenty of room! I figure I can take my time, get someone who knows more and learn as I put it together, and when I finally get it together and good I'll put it in and do the old one by myself. I thought it was a good idea..
