Picked up a virgin gsr back in August after selling my da (pics below), and have been chompin at the bit to start on it. I have many things in store for it, and today was the "official" start of the build (technically yesterday was, but since im making this thread today ill stick with it being the "official" day today ) First project, pretty sure pics will speak for themselves.

My old da:


And how it sat before I sold it


NOW on to the new project&gt;&gt;&gt;

BIG THANKS goes out to all the people who helped and supported and continue to do so in this project, all of which I greatly appreciate! Greg, Kurt, Blake, Al, TJ, Jermaine, Tim, Carter, Pierce, Juan, Nate, Brian, Zack, //ROYAL// (Justin, Sergio, Zy, Chris), Gabe, my Mom my ever supportive girlfriend Jana and of course H-T
