    For me, this is the hardest part. I’m sure it’s easier to use something other than the stock stainless. Another way could eliminate the clip but i want to keep some originality. :) Just one clip in the center of each window. IMG_6018.jpeg

    It's details like that that make it for me. Especially at your skill level.:)

    Yea, I’m with you on details like that. I like stuff that looks like it could have been built that way from the factory if they had better vision. You nailed it! :cool:

    Those rear 1/4 vent wings are dreamy. I tried to keep mine, but a man's got to know his limitations.

    Nice work, -Abone.
