Nice attention to detail; once they are painted and get scuffed up a bit they will look the part.

This is a good example of something that looks really easy to make, but is quite time consuming to get right. Having an original on hand is a huge advantage and necessary IMO to produce a faithful copy.

Thanks folks. I painted and had the hardware plated today. It all looks just great to me and I'm excited to get it put up on the bus. I'm going to make custom mounts off the roof rack so no holes will be drilled in the roof. I might drill the holes in the jack points but it's possible I'll make a slide in mount that won't require a hole drilled. Very Happy

Yes. It's like looking back in time at an original one upon opening it up.
