Re: hugill,bear, and the heat........
Good Morning,
It's looking good, guys. It will be cool for you to have one of these, CH. A long time want, satisfied. I know the feeling. ;o) One question, are the light and horn supposed to swap places there on the right ( looking back from the bow ) ?
regards,
Painless
