This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Todd miller sells a woodgrain kit that fits the aftermarket bezel perfectly. To be exactly like a factory bezel, you have to paint the small outline of the woodgrain area black. It is chromed on the aftermarket piece. But it’s an easy job, and I will continue to put them on all the cars I build as long as they are available.

    Oh…well, it’s done :D I finished it in May 2023 and brought it to the GS nationals where it took Concours Gold. Also MCACN 2023 where it received Concours Gold as well. It’s back home with its owner now.

    The YouTubes have had to take a back seat with the projects going on this year. Three 69 Stage1’s to finish for MCACN is a bigger bite than I ever intended to take, but I think I can do it with some help.
