| Thanks Glideking. The truck was nice to begin with but some of the metal needed to be shrunk back. Tom is doing a great job and I can appreciate as you do the little filler he is using. |

| I wouldn't use the bypass filter on a performance motor but I think on a stockish engine it would be just fine and certainly an improvement over just the screen. I have one and intend to use it. |

I'm loving all these quality builds lately. Tom has awesome skills and watching the progress photos is magic.
Can't wait for more........

This looks like an original brake light bezel. Is there any chance I can convince you to measure the bezel's width and add it to this thread? |
