I will try to get some pictures up. Im doing all of this with an Ipad now so my pictures may be upside down. LOLs. Even when I flip the photo and reload....it will still be upside down.

As far as the install itself. It couldn't be easier in my opinion. Straight forward install. A plasma cutter would probably speed things up considerably, but I moved away from my air cutoffwheel in favor of my Makita 4" electric grinder with a 1/32"x4" cutoff wheel. Oh...and if you wear older jeans be weary of the frays at the bottom of pant legs....Im welding away and noticed my leg was getting a little warm. Fire!!!! LOL's.

Dave, I only use my iPad to come on here and post pictures. Just make sure that the button is in your right hand and the camera is in the upper left when you take the pictures. it took me a while to get it correct when taking pictures with the it. Now I use my iPhone and cloud the pictures to my iPad to post them. And yes now we need a build thread???
