Just got back from shipping the boxes, Chuck. Should have em in yer hot little hands next week some time..whoo hoo!! Here's a pic or 2 of what you were referring to, nothing fancy, just a re-do of the front trim piece. Filled a couple imperfections, painted it satin black and the ribs silver. I guess it's all in the details, eh..?

Nice work again Larry! I wasn't keen on the plastic chrome look-alike on the trim so I blacked mine out with some plastic paint.

What you've done with the silver looks much better IMO than that fake plastic chrome stuff...

Yeah, I think it looks good, too. More subtle. If someone wanted, there's chrome 1/8" pinstripe tape available that would give it the correct factory look, too.
