Sorry, but it won't let us see your pics without having a myspace account! You should start a photobucket account (free!), and we'll all be able to see them. :thup:

I know they didn't even try to make it look some what nice. They did the same with the shifter it went from 3spd to auto and it looks like both times someone didn't know who to use a cutting torch or tape measure :lol:

That's some really nice work they did.
