I assume that "sweet" was said in your best Eric
Cartman (South Park) Voice!

I made the plug out of foam...skinned with
Bondo...sanded to Hell and back...refined...sanded to

Good thing I did this AFTER my divorce....or she'd
really have had grounds!!!

By the way...I've got the mold and could possibly
reproduce these if anyone is interested.

I've also got a full length dash in Carbon-Fiber..but
it isn't installed yet...I'll post when it's in.
