Excellent job as usual my friend! Nice job on the grille! Ha,ha,ha! This thing definitely has the right stance (and attitude) to go along with that awesome chop you mastered! I have to say I am really dig'n the louvered hood (which is not laid out in a commonly seen pattern); and the club plaque on the front spreader bar! Those little touches are really cool!

Thanks, Brother Ed! You realize the hood is the one you rejected for casting, right? LOL! |

Either of you two sure you're not related,,, I mean your profile pics are starting to look eerily similar, those hairlines and all. (Ed seems to have a more "Classical Profile" suited to being a smart Alec though!) Then there is that whole sibling rivalry thing that seems to be going on of late; well every since the whole grill cover thing where someone whom should remain nameless began jabbing the other about how horrible the cover looked.... |

Last I checked Ed and I are 6 or 7 months apart in age so if we’re related Mom’s got some serious explaining to do! And in the case of the cartoonish, Hot Wheels toy looking grill cover, that nameless person gets to be right. Don’t tell him I said that though, it’ll go straight to his head! |
