He got a pretty decent body from me 2-3 years ago. Not these.
The grey one was found on Craigslist a few years ago, pulled out of the woods in MS and taken to Ft Rucker, that sold it a year later to Erin Tucker in TN, a year later Seth bought it, a year later I buy them, 5 months later Newman bought the grey one and the wrecked red one.
Pretty normal stuff.
Newman got the red body off, frame cleaned, and we dropped the grey body on the 3FE frame yesterday.
