Yeah, I know.....although, I noticed that they got a bit darker after the smoke cured and the clear dried....so they are a bit darker than the 2nd image.

Chris,

Top notch work as always, Congrats to you and Marcus for Magazine Cover Feature.

Really like the pedestal for the Build board. I used a flat piece of aluminum 5"wide and was bent using hydraulic press than painted to OEM color.

Looking forward to seeing more of your never ending mods.

Wont be doing anything else this year, but certainly have some plans on the list for early next year.
