Build thread is looking good, looking over it makes me realize how much i actually miss that sh***y city of Williamsport. Been tossing around the idea of making my own build and i think its about that time. Maybe ill even be able to make it up for one of the clubs trips to Rausch. Subbin your build, looks good
