Acme sells the kit for $895. I'd like $700 for it. New, in box.

I saw the previews, I don't believe that they did much but swap it in.

Good show though, I learned quite a bit on welding and crap like that.

As far as Jessi Combs, I would do things to her that are illegal to do to farm animals in Alabama!
