    I'm going over to the shop a little later, & will bring the camera. You'll see some progress later in the day.

    OK...got a few steps closer to the end today...

    Everything in general is smoov enuf to throw C/F down...

    Decided to go with a red "faux anodized" finish on the duct...



    Hope to have the C/F stuck to the insert by the beginning of next week...



    All wishes of "good luck" will be appreciated, I'm a little nervous about the next step...

    1) If your vehicle is travelling in the direction of the arrow you are driving
    2) If your vehicle is travelling opposite to the direction of the arrow you are reversing
    3) If your vehicle is travelling in any direction other than the above close your eyes, grit your teeth and hold on until the mayhem stops
