Found a crack in Joes bottom case, going to Doug's to get welded tomorrow. don't know how I missed it. But I see it was there all along when I looked back at a pic Joe sent me after he sent the cases.

Well that's somewhat good to know, you could say were almost even. She gave me a broken collar bone and then later a fracture ankle.

Good catch Tim! Looks like it spans from one ridge to the next.

(dont forget to put it on the invoice)

Going back to the restoration pics I found it.
