I tried searching for his name and about a million people popped up haha, anyway you could send me a message with his facebook page on it?

I might have one lined up for a reasonable price, but he's been busy. So I'm interested in possibly other options.

And yeah I am definitely considering putting a clear top on my dog house! It'd look good in there! haha

Thanks!

Oh yeah, and as for the clearance issue. It doesn't look like there is going to be any issues there, it sits only a little bit higher than my last air filter set up which had room to spare up top, but I can't tell for sure until I get it all in there.

Sorry the photo quality has gotten bad recently, stupid camera in my phone broke a little while ago and I had to put a new one in and it isn't quite the same quality as the original haha.

Got this wing at the boneyard yesterday, wish it didn't have light spots, but it's in good shape!

Rerouted the e-brake cable to the factory position instead of sticking out over the battery and got most of the lighting wiring done:

Polished the heater tube, and reinstalled it:

The polished heater tube, more of the lighting wiring done, and the wind shield washer motor rewiring:
