Looks great. Is that your finished paint?

Glad you noticed...that was a pain in the :( to do.....I took about 3/4 of an inch out each side.Then welded it back up...Then I grinded the sides off..Its really not that hard..Just something you want to look right so it took sometime...I have yet to see another one like it..
