Tony,
Got the two sleds from Don yesterday. I'm going to rebuild the 78. Did you see the super clean 77 on Ebay? #4622511905. Looks as good as Marks. You know the one that I should of killed myself for selling it.....Anyway I'm leaving for Canada Friday to pick up more srx parts. I'm back into it. Over my head but in a good way. See ya. Dean-o
