Looks good! I'll add it to the consolidated list, there was someone who did this as well but I like your use of the template idea. Makes the repeated drilling substantially more easier and quicker.

I added a 10" piece after the glass pack, the turn down dumps right at the rear axle, helped to mellow the sound a little and got rid of the "fart can" sound.

All it took was 3% of the colonists to defeat the kings army during the American revolution. Imagine that. 3% took up arms against an oppressive, controlling, tyrannical government....and came out victorious!

Ah. So only 3% were patriots, IMO. I hope the 97% stayed idle for the most part and didn't fight for the British.

The patriots wanted their own government, wanted to get out from under the British rule.

Loyalists were the colonists who were still supporters and "loyal" to the British crown.

So there were patriots, loyalists, and the others who didn't get involved. For fear of losing their business, family, death, or harrasment. The ones that just wanted to go about their daily life.
