I did the passenger side already which did include some frustration but I'm keeping the anger and frustration for another opportunity. You are right about the radius, I did some reshaping along with adding some metal to close the gap so now I'm in fine form to tackle the drivers side. Regarding the beer we need the extra content to keep us warm during those cold winter nights. Some do get a chance to enjoy the southern winter weather but I opt to spend the money on 'Blanche', she's a good ole girl that needs lots of TLC. cheers...Glenn
