Thanks guys. Now to find even more metal.
Pat checked the master out, lubed it, etc and it was good. When I finally get to installing it I will check it to since it will be sitting for awhile again.

I think Dave can save/fix the outer dogleg skins. I hope so anyway. Somebody on thesamba told me he had a pair of them for $350 shipped from Oregon... That's $25 less than what we paid to save Emily from becoming bean cans or a Prius!!

Since my dad is now retired we are trying to find a time when he isn't busy working on the list of stuff my mother gave him so he can bring Emily to Dave. Hopefully sometime this month or early February she will be making the 15 mile trek west to Norwalk.

Thanks Mike. I will let him know that there are extra hands if needed. Emily can't move under her own power so my best guess is that she will be taking a ride on Dave's trailer with the fancy winch.

This bumper will also be on the way from MS to install in case the insurance company doesn't like the custom one that is currently present.
