Thanks, I think the colors work great together also. I don't know if I could have planned it better. I knew I wanted a silver but I was thinking more along the lines of bright silver. I had my dash painted and was kinda looking for a base color when my friend just happen to have a gallon of "silver". It's not the color I wanted originally but I do like it, it's also hard to pass on the free price.

Hey Dave, does that 205 hang down as much as it looks? Do you have trouble hanging up on that? Can it or the 203 be clocked for more clearence?

Good job David! And the top is just in time for winter. Hope to see you and goneballistic at Howie's blow out in the spring. You have given me inspiration now, maybe I will post the pics of my build...I started it in Feb and finished it by August....I took pics but did not take time to post any of them because I was determined to have it finished in time to make OCBR 2008.

I could have ordered it clocked as much as I wanted but with the clearance between the 205 and the frame rail I was afraid of getting too close. Looking back know, I could have easily done it, it actually gets further away if you clock it.

I have already had problems with the angle of the front CV binding and braking the centering ball at the 205. I have got limiting straps on it know to keep from dropping out to far. I have thought about going to HP to fix some of my drop out angle and to get my DS up higher than the cage arms. If I did this I could have my doubler re drilled to index the 205 up. I haven't had any problems or hang up yet, it is only about 1 inch lower than my Cage arm mounts.

I can't say too much on the build thread, I was in the same boat. I'd come inside after working too late and then just have to post a couple pics of the nights work. It is cool to have it in a series, I probably should have talked a lot more about my pics and what all has been modified but most of the time I just did not have the time.
