    A chat about the AM1/AM2 fin template.

    YU is a shrunk AM. Japanese shaper put it on a copier (xerox) and shrunk 4.75" AM down to 4.5" depth for Japanese market

    A chat about the AM1/AM2 fin template.

    Christian Fletcher vs Shaun Tomson

    Shaun and I live in the same neighborhood, one of my sons went to school with his youngest, and I know him well through CI. Seen him burn at Rincon, (like many do).

    Calling the Glasser....

That means in order to answer your request, someone is putting their tools down. And not working on your or your buddy's board. The people at glass shops are piece rate, meaning...
