Cleburne, SASS # 39597 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Very neat! I can't imagine the time and money that goes into a project like this. But it's a tribute to the passion and dedication of the individuals involved. A tip of the hat to 'em, and to you Joe for passin' these great videos on to us.
