More like watching :D In all actuality, I will probably end up doing some of it, but the finish work will be done by one of the guys here at the shop. Right now I am just trying to get all the old bondo and something that looks like fiberglass resin off of it.

Finally got my parts from CB Performance. Quality is not what I expected. Bought the Doghouse kit from them and appears half the kit is made in Taiwan. Fan is OE, Adapter and cooler are CB's, but the tin is taiwanese. And from just a dry fit, I am gonna have to make some modifications to make it all work together. Nice little dent right up front in the shroud, too. The hat I ordered does look pretty nice though.

I love having parts show up!! :dance:

However, hate to hear you're not happy with what you've received. Takes all the fun out of it. :roll:

it's hard to find high quality parts these days, and believe me, it's going to keep getting harder :(

Not so much unhappy just disappointed. Figured buying from them I'd get something better then EMPI quality. We have a saying at work... Adapt, Improvise, Overcome. One way or another it will work out.

Brian I couldn't agree more with that statement. So very true sadly.


But hey on the bright side.....

The hat fits pretty darn good!!! :thumbs:
