    Guy who rebuilt em did. I would recommend it cause the aluminum tarnishes fast, this can be cleaned easier when it does get dirty

    Nice! It's a beautiful part of the country. I've hunted with my dad outside of the Avery/ St Marie's area. That would be a awesome place to grow up if you love the outdoors.

    You might be onto something!

    im just torn on doing black or silver... blocks black... heads in black would make the valve covers in wrinkle red really pop... but leaks would be harder to find. lol

    The one pics off my phone, left my pack in the truck and never made it back for it.

    I have thought of a dslr but I worry about durability and weather related issues.

    Hate to spend big bucks just to have it get messed up in a month.

    I would do silver or another lightish color, even a steel grey would be easy enough to spot leaks on and not as boring as silver.

    I should've done it in person at one of those DMV service shops. I went to do a title transfer and get new plates for my trailer, and the guy in front of me had his new registration and sticker in hand after a few minutes.

    I really like that about AZ. In WA a title transfer you can do in a visit but you don't get the title for a week or two. In AZ I transferred the title, payed my registration and left with new copies of both in 10min $43 lighter haha.

    Wouldn't be out of the ordinary in AZ cause old people own this state and run it. But in CA I'd imagine people would imagine kicking your ass for not using some sort of etransfer dark web pay app. They wouldn't actually kick your ass because they're all non-confrontational vegan gen Z hipsters though with social anxiety.

    True you actually don't see anyone except the occasional (actual) old person writing checks in CA, unless you're out in the rural areas/agricultural towns. I literally only write like 2 checks a year, mine still have my old address from 8 years ago on them
