Welcome to SCJB  ;D

What changed?

Did this hull have an Olds in it before? 

Why not just find the correct coupler and save yourself some work?

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
