Congratulations! I think even Simon Cox would approve. (If you ever go into production let me know.)

Sincere thanks for the kind words......
There are still a few "tweaks" that are going to take place.
I'll be repositionong the fog lights, & reinstalling the mesh over those.
Also, I have a design rolling around in my head for a licence plate bracket......
LOL...Jack, if you look real close in one of the pics, you can see my spare on top of the extra nice garden tool shed...
The tires look small due to high unsprung weight...that's all I can think of lately...unsprung weight....unsprung weight...unsprung weight...unsprung weight...unsprung weight...yeah, Kmart boxers...I'm an excellent driver......
(rent rainman if you didn't catch that last rant)
Oh DUDE!...I didn't mean to indicate any flaws in the product when I mentioned bondo. What I would have been smoothing out, would have been a few chipped edges etc, where the cutting was done.
Most around here know, that I'm far too impatient, & not nearly picky enough, to care about a few rough edges...
Last I checked, I personally am at least 80% rough edges...
And I agree, most would probably shy away from drilling seven additional holes in their cladding where it shows...but I've always been a fan of an industrial looking, exposed fasteners, that was one of the things that attracted me to the VX in the first place...
Thanks again John...now that I know more about the process of creating one of these pieces, I'm even more appreciative of what you had to do to get it to Moab on such short notice...You are truly "One of the Good Ones" !...

Nicely done, you guys are both true craftsman.

When you're done with all the mods, you might want to hit it with bed liner. That fiberglass is going to take a lot of abuse down there.
