Hi Jerry & Rich... Thanks for the kind words Jerry, My best wishes for all the forum member in the New Year! And a heartfelt greatfull thanks to all my customers, suppliers, and friends that I've found here! Especially you John D!!!
Anyway! I'm on the last stretch on yours Rich, they are coming along great! I should be done by the end of next week... I have to radius the bottoms by hand on a belt sander, that means a few hours of searching for the part after it sprints off into my messy work room!!!Probably more than once...

... But, as always..I will prevail! ....

....BTW, I will have two extra custom aluminum bottoms left after this bunch.... anyone for a nice custom up-graded MEC-GAR... or two??...Thanks again, and best to all, til.....lat'r....GT....
