I just PM'd you with contact info for a guy who has several and is building to order the configuration you want. Chris
It's home!! I'm about to go visit it where I have it stored. As soon as the weather is nicer, copious pics to follow!!
Hey folks, I found a transporter finally! with any luck it arrives this week, woohoo! More pics to come! Chris
