wow what a cool story. I'm new to the forum and found the original post and read all 17 pages of it. It's good to know this forum has some generous members to help @Dieseltech restore his found sunken treasure. It's an honor to be newly member of the forum.
I don't even care that I'm going to dig up a semi-old thread.... this is way too cool, sad I wasn't here for the build! Those things turned out sweet!!!
