D.B. I think your really on to something that I might just have to pursue on one of my next builds. That really sounds like something that would be interesting and unique! Honestly, Myself? I'd rather look at the moving parts that make the whole unit work than just a shinny steel cabinet that covers it all up. I think if a guy could combine the two he might just start a whole new fad! After all pump guts need love to! grin,

Hung the doors last night to adjust the hinges and check everything for clearance before installing the other side panel. Have a little body work left to do on the doors before they're ready for paint and still waiting on some parts. Should be done very soon! cool I'll post full pics. once all the decals and trim are on and the doors are hung.
