Hello, so I havent posted in at least a few years. I had a taco 22, & the similar "zebra" that i was planning to work on back then, but life got crazy so i sold them. Now i kind of wish i could go back & slap myself in the face for that. I am so regretful that it hurts, but i did make some money...
