I almost saved it till the truck was done...I figure I'll see someone at a show with it before I have my truck done now

the insert is 3/16". I had originally asked for 1/4 but they forgot and used 3/16 but it's a lot thicker than the original metal and the detail looks good to me in the pictures. I have a couple other small pieces being made to match and use in other areas on the truck. And they're making my trailing arm spacers for free because of the mistake on the thickness which is cool

I gotta get back over there to work. Talked to CPP today and they were trying to ship out the last front end parts today or tomorrow at the latest so I'll have them by next week. That will let me get the chassis back as a roller.
