:seeya Welcom to the forum.

You might be able to find a build sheet under the carpet where the drivers seat is or on the top of the gas tank is another location.

Welcome,

As you can see I am also a newbie (Jr.) here. I have yet to post some pics. Once I figure out how to get the pic from 700k down to about 200k??? I guess if I spent more time on the computer and less time driving around, nah

:cheers:
