Being a little taller than most folks I got in butt first then swung long legs in. Tip of screwdriver was sticking up out of right rear pocket. So now you know it all. Thanks to everyone. I have contacted Plum Beeper. Again thanks all.

My RimBlow is done and the pics he sent me are out of this world. He found the core and did the resto in about 10 weeks time. I could not be happier This is not cheap but you get what you pay for. A big thank you to PLUMBEEPER No fear with this vendor. AWESOME!!!!!!!! 7666575-2013-04-0915.08.23.jpg (63 downloads)
