Was this the same guy as the link above from G503 that was going to find a house and then restore it? I am curious if it is the same one or if there are tow of them all apart out there.

I can't say it is the same owner but it is the same XM-408. Bigbadwolf on the other site posted pictures of it. Does anyone have any REAL PICTURES of an original XM-408? How about who owns the other originals? Any help on this would be appreciated. :D

How do "I" tell "my" wife that "you" bought it? Easy, Hey dear, look at what this idiot bought! :lol:

That way, from now on whenever I need something, I can refer to you and I am good to go at your expense. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Well told the wife about the new project. :D She told me good thing I bought the 3 car service lifts the other day. Asked me if I needed any more money to get it shipped or for more parts :D All I can say is I married the best woman in the world...ya I know you all are jealous :lol: going to freight terminal tonight when my boys get home from school. They just don't know that part yet. Will post pictures when I figure out how to do it.
