Thanks Andries! Hoping I have this git for a bit as I would like for Uncle John to give it a whirl as it's right up his alley as far as vintage builds. He likes them vintage's ;-) Doing a big Festival in a week and a half and I am guessing it will go out the door so I'm may have a trip to Harlan before then if time permits.
