The prototype worked so good, I decided to go full length both sides. Go them fabricated over the weekend and off to the powdercoater today!

Was just thinking that.

To OP, what is your total cost on the mod? Looks frickin awesome.

now just lightly line-x over the top of it and it will look like it was made that way.

I'm thinking about Line-X but afraid it will fill in the teeth gaps and dull the edges. May drop them by tomorrow to see what they say.

Had a friend of mine cut the grates and base brackets on his plasma cutter, charged me $140.00. Then it cost me a case of beer, one bottle Basil Hayden's bourbon (with help) and about 6 cigars to weld them up and make a jig.

Dang things are pricey!
