Get it registered and then worry about the small stuff. |
Thanks for the input. i did some digging on gilmers, other than the cogs looking cool, I don't see the appeal in the noise. Good to know its supposed to be like that.
Hope your customer got it taken care of. I plan on taking care of registration next week. Have a 30 day temp now.
