Yes! And the scoop looks great, too. A lot more like stock than the other option, but obviously with plenty of intake area.

beautiful scoop, hand crafted!

Definitely interested! Please let me know if there is enough to go around.

You might think this funny but it would be great if you and js could sign the first (perhaps last) batch....I would love one signed and numbered!

The grass is still growing...

Attachment studs mounted, ready for dynamic testing...again Shame it's so cold outside There's no surface work yet, just primer.





This project has been like building a scratch built car model with all the angst:impatient We're still working out the mounting method but I like the exposed studs enough to keep them that way for me

this one hasn't popped out at me yet... HOPING its color and angle! It just doesn't look as "fishy" as the other one. SIDE VIEW has now officially requested!

Just came up, from the basement workshop, for a break from working on the scoop project - yes it's the same as previous posted photos of the scoop.
