Author: BAB Its nice that they provided a nice paint matched flat for the Cats but too bad they didnt for the JDs, and yup looks like the Post Office rigs in the last one. Could be cost wise the chains and binders are part of what the customer gets as in the scheme of things are just not worth worring about.
