Re: patina 49' build
I did a lot of wiring research and got my OCD granddaughter to help keep stuff organized during the initial main runs. Then it was just making all the connections. Was pleased when I applied power and only had a couple of things to sort out.

Re: patina 49' build
have a question for anyone viewing this build.
i found a great deal on some 4 links bars. bottom bars are adjustable 36" top is 24" non adjustable. since its little smaller then 70% of lowers will it be fine? i havent purchased them yet but would like to bc great deal they are already welded up. or should i just wait and buy a univerasl kit where bars arent welded yet |
