Very cool Matt. I was wondering what you were going to get. With all the 180/185 threads lately I've developed some major 180 envy...

Re: Project Retro Wagon - 180A

Very nice Matt! I'm waffling between a 180 and a Cub right now, but that bird is a beaut and almost tips the scales for me. Enjoy!

Do all the Idaho notches on your belt transfer to the 180? Or do you have to start over? :D
