I am in awe at your CRAFTSMANSHIP it makes me consider pushing mine to the curb for the rubbish man to pick up..... Of course I won't I do the best I can with the tools and skill, little on skill, that I have. But it sure is nice to see your work. It will be a super slick rod when finished. Neat heater. I picked up an arvin for mine, wish I could afford to rechrome the front. I think I can save the chrome on frame and repaint case and louvers, which chrome is almost gone on. Maybe make it look like it wasnt redone, with the patina so it looks well worn, but not rusty and junky. Keep up the great work. Look forward to more updates and pics as they come.
