you beat me to it! go ahead and close my other hey Iowa III thread lol





haven't got much feedback so I'm just gonna take a guess and hope i get some turn out.


Sat 2-21 I'm having a gathering at my house, ill provide instructions later on for whoever needs em. Maybe we can do a cruise of some kind if the weather is decent- its a bit far out to take a guess on it just yet though.

So I am sure I missed some stuff but I figured out a "Grand total" for the FC and its build: ~3500


Not sure if you guys are following the build thread at all but I have it all broken down.
