[QUOTE="Azholley, post: 1139285, member: 22310"] Okay I guess I better get off my ass and do a write up 3 weeks late.... [emoji51]. Welp boys she finally made it to Mississippi... ordered on 7/15 cancelled on 1/16 reordered on 1/21 built 3/7 delivered on 3/24 so I booked a plane ticket that day for 3/27 to go pick her up!
