Looks fantastic. I bet that car scoots!

Armando was 'the' guy around here for years, then kind of disappeared. How does one reach him now?

Tom,

I got to him thru a guy I met on Pelican. Doug who facilitated the process for me. I sent my crank out for magnafux and some other goodies only to hear "don't bother" with this crank. I then did some research and Doug came to the rescue.

But Armando ended up actually doing the work? I thought maybe he moved on. Glad to hear he's still doing cranks, but I have to say, Big Foot is easier to track down... :lol:
