Thanks for the nice words,
but...your panel is first class all the way, the BEST.

By the way the headlight grills fit perfect, thanks.

175/55 fill up the wheel well perfect. but they rub on bumps. 165/45 look a little small in the wheel well, if you are not super hammered! Very Happy

I am loving that paint on Bubba's panel. I also love the way it sits even with the flat tire.
