Default The Beast in the Box has Arrived

The BBT just dropped off the 1250 Beast in the Box (patent pending)

Monday morning, the transformation begins. I took the week off and I'm looking forward to some serious fun!

I ordered them the afternoon of Tuesday, July 25th. With shipping, it was 9 days, including the weekend.

Edit to add: I also had NRHS set the ring gaps and assemble the pistons...
