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.

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? |
