I am amazed at the craftsmanship, very nice work. I never worked around the old BE hydraulics but have heard good things for their age.
I hope the new owners wife does not fully blow a gasket. He got sent a care package from my house today as well. Could be tough on the old hendersonville budget.

It's a beauty Brian. Yeah you should always try and make just one extra for yourself when you can. I think the Hopto would be a considerable amount of scratch work, but would be one bad looking beast if done Chris
