Thank you for all the warm welcomes.
I have been a automotive machinist and engine builder for over 30 years before retiring in 2014 and no my way around cars pretty good, but I got to say there have been a few times I was totally stumped with the 76
, so look forward to learning from everyone who have been there done that.
