Thanks Eugen , I am not without my challenges . Reading mostly . Can't read a novel or most books . I can read words and sentences , but can't read a bunch of them and tell you what it means . But if you read it to me I understand most of it until it gets flowery or legal speak , again I get nothing . If it were not for spell check you would not understand what I write .My wife takes care of the all the important reading . My mom always said "my brains are in my hands" . I just don't know enough to know I can't do something , so I just do it until I figure it out . My mom just called me "just plain stubborn". That has been my life as long as I can remember . They say you learn more from your mistakes then from getting right the first time . That being said I should have a degree in fixoligy . :rofl:
@Eugen Good to here from you , hope you all are well and things are starting to move forward .
You’re a gentleman with many talents David. I can relate where you’re coming from. I myself was never a great reader, but going through life opportunities pushed me to better myself in my deficient areas. Yes, spell check helps me a lot. I for one am envious of your skill set. :worship:
:peace: Harry

Wow! Will you try and preserve it? Is it visible at all with the mag in place?

You don't see but a corner of it with Mag in place. I will take a couple of more pics , but no . The more I clean it the more comes off . I have new 3 link decals , but this is 4 link . So far I have only ever seen one pic of a four link decal . I am going to try to have them made from that .
