[joshhedden07]

Hello everyone! I have been reading a lot of threads and everyone is doing an amazing job and got me wanting to start my 72 lemans in a pro tour build.
Now this is very low budget so don't be too cruel! and my welding skills aren't the best so be prepared! haha but here we go! any and all helpful information will be greatly appreciated! cheers!
