Thank you all. With out this site I wouldn't be this far along. I have the basic know how but the site helped to fill in the gaps of the things I wasn't sure about. I still have little things to do to it but every day brings something new.

Do not try this at home

my cameramen are a little shaky but for what is is worth. only opened it up a 2 couple seconds at a time (holy $hit) will have to hit a back road around the corner and see what it will do. For the record only 1% of rubber on the road is mine, the rest is the other motorheads around me I love my hood[ddd
