give us some details on what you used for parts.
Sorry for crappy pics.(cheap camera) I used the same marine filler that John Fabris used with his custom filler in FAQ. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...allpartial/0/0
The LEDs came from ECE, and are manufactured by board member "Jmac05". Other than that, it's just 1 & 1/2" muffler pipe, fuel hose & clamps, some 3/8 pipe fittings, an old hinge that I had, a throttle spring, sheetmetal, bondo, & primer. If I was to do it again, I'd change a few things like lowering it a half inch or so, and I would change the angle of the muffler tubing to aim straight at the tank filler pipe. This would require removing one or two of the bedside to rear crossmember bolts, but I think it would still be strong enough. Oh yeah, the 2 rubber bumpers are 67-72 fleetside tailgate bumpers. Here's another angle.
