    Neglected century barn is becoming my workshop and garage

    I have two 6" Records, if you're looking to get some feedback. ;) Just kidding. Those are ****** gorgeous though, nice job!! Be warned though, Records done always have the bolts for the jaws in the same place. On my two the jaws aren't compatible. Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk
