Default Final Chopper Decision Made

Well, I posted awhile back asking for opinions on which route to go for a future chopper. Anyhow, I spent half the day with Vince over at Redneck Engineering discussing different ideas and I've decided that's the route I'm going to go. So, starting this weekend, my 2008 Rocker-C will officially begin it's transformation into a custom chopper. It's going to run about $15k to do what I'm wanting, but the finished product will be worth it. He is going to send me pics while I'm back in Afghanistan on the progress and I'll post them on the forums to keep y'all updated as well when I'm able to. I appreciate all the input from everyone in making this decision. It was a tough one.
