Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Kit instructions, steel data, supply houses, ... links to useful info, and more !!!  

 

I'm starting this discussion as a way to share resources.   We all have our passions .. our areas of “expertise” .. I’m rather partial to the older schtuff .. I also like “modifying” ..  

 

.. what I like and/or modify may not be pleasing to the next gentleman/woman .. but, what I’ve found & learned might be helpful .. 

 

!! just passing it on !!!
