    And THAT is how you get something truly custom. It's not about buying parts and slappin' them on, it's about taking the time to think something up and create it. That is very cool. People aren't going to believe it without the pics!

    VERY nice work.
    I wished you lived around here, I could use help on a hood I was working on.

    Wish I could take credit for the welding work... but that goes to my
    brother... I did the grinding/sanding part... I'm finishing the color
    sanding/buffing up now...

    We also filled in the Antenna hole on the passenger fender to clean up the
    lines of the car... I'll be placeing a hidden antenna under the dashpad.

    Thanks for the compliments...

    Mike

    Edit: BTW if you want to see the process of what it took to do it, We've
    kinda got it documented on Tim's (my brother) sight. We had put one on
    his S-10 first... and since there's 2 side plates per mower... My stang got
    the other one... Here's his sight http://66.4.8.35/truck
