Sweet buildup
Maybe I'll show this to my buddy who I've been trying to motivate to reincarnate his Scout II. Don't see too many people wheeling the 800's let alone the buildup you've got going on, keep up the good work & :kewl:

Glad you guys are enjoying the pictures. Just so you know, as I stated at the top, this is not my build! It's a friend of mines.

I will add pics as I get them...

EDIT: damn brothers logged in again...you get the idea
