I see you added some fender vents. How's the fitment and function?
Well, they didn't fly off so that was a relief.
They were easy to install and look like they should work okay, but I don't have any data.
We had to custom up one side to work with the flare but other than that the fit was fine.

Add that link to the first post! Nice write-up and summary of your mods to date.

Like I've said before, your work is inspirational. Keep up the *Fab* work!
Thanks for your support Grant. I appreciate it.

You deserve every bit of recognition you get and then some, @Fabman! I would expect the print press to chip in soon. At least they SHOULD.

This is just a superlative build (I especially like a 3V with a KB blower ;))!

Thank you :)
