Hey Troy. Mine is coming along slowly. Just taking the frame in for blasting and powder coating this week. The real work will start in the fall when the motor and trans goes in for rebuild. I hope to be done by next spring. I’ll pm my email. Thanks and I will check that out.

Hey Troy, yes I got the wheel and it is down at Woody’s Wheel Works in Colorado for straightening now. Thanks for the heads up on it. One day we’ll have to talk about the fender emblem again. Have a great day.

No, that’s the engraved one I would sell. I made this one. I’m fussy, so I needed the exact contouring on it. I used an actual stock points cover.



Hi mrlexus would you consider making a few more of these point covers ? i don't think ill ever come across an original one !
