    Start of my EXPO shell build

    Yeah, I definately just lurked around a bit, saw that term used a few times, and jumped on the incorrect usage bandwagon:sombrero: However in my defense, Im only building this thing because of this forum... Anyway, my shell didn't come with toolboxes, I wish it had atleast on the drivers side...
