    Good to see this is still happening. I reckon that blaster would be real handy.

    Good choice to weld the rear panel seam I think. I bogged mine (spur of the moment thing) and they cam out pretty good, I reckon it's a real nice little custom touch to add.

    here was my finished product. much cleaner. I'm proud of it.



    (can't find a pic of it all done for some reason )
