Thanks Doc, I'm taking that approach the best I can. Those guys are magicians. They both told me it will be a hard hitting monster. I just left the shop actually. I'm nervously, anxiously, patiently waiting... If that makes sense

I believe UMW also makes a hybrid very similar.

and this for the Jewelry that I will most likely have to buy to make up for this build chaos. I have two projects going at the same time so she really has been a good sport. The old school truck I am building has proved to be time consuming for me. I have done everything with the exception of body work.
