This is my attempt at adding a little substance to my posts and the forum heh.
Dude, that is so sweet! Cant wait to see how it comes along!

Thanks J! It was definitely a great experience last time when we did the Ksports. Always glad to know I've got support from great members like yourself and others that have commented so far.

Thanks! Can't compare to your pickup but hopefully my transformation will be as fast as your M!
