Found a pretty nice square hood and built my own version. That's basically exactly what I'd want to build. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Details are down in the "Red square Herd" section. I saw that. It's 8+ hours one way for me and not something I can attend at this time. I have family commitments that weekend.
