The COL is an infantry guy, not a Sailor. But you are right.

Hey,
Welcome! Yes pictures are good!! I love pictures. They tell the story fast.

Randy

thank you all for the warm welcome .
i will post pictures as soon as i get home , i will probably start a new thread with a build as i have a tendency too make a daily driver a bit over board .

We like overboard.

(We just don't like it without pictures.)

A little info here: A friend of cop of mine from Wisconsin says that the Crown Vics that they use weigh 4860 pounds fully 'dressed'. Subtract a couple hundred pounds of cop gear and they still out-weigh our old wagons. He weighed one of the new Taurus squad cars --- over 5k pounds. Cars are getting heavier & heavier every year because of out beloved government regulations.
