no sir... its far easy and quit reasonable.

I have a pretty nice reservoir but it still looks out of place.

I saw a link recently with a guy who found one that fit perfectly and looked OEM...

I know team posted in there, I'll have a look for it.

You could paint it but I doubt it would last long in that environment.

This is my sohn. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my sohn is useless. Without my sohn, I am useless... etc etc...


ahem..
This made me LOL and almost spit out my coffee.

Well, I am headed out of town to my parents house until Monday and I have not had any time this week to do any work. But I did get the coupler delivered I was waiting on for my CAI setup so that is finished. I want to relocate the battery so hopefully this weekend I can source the parts for that while up at my parents and then next weekend it's on like Donkey Kong. I may get some time during the week of Thanksgiving to do some things since my family is doing Thanksgiving this weekend.

I hope to god you don't get this finished before my build is done.

If I do, Hoss said I can throw a shoe at your head*.

*Can neither confirm nor deny the recommendation listed above. Was not available for questioning.
