Johnie,

The liner and parts look great!
I think you have a excellent sheet metal fabricator!

My six cents,

Thanks guys!, yes, my sheet metal man is a genius! It fits like a glove, now for the expensive part, after the chassis is painted Pepsi blue, is paying to sign painter to do all of the embossing! Ka-ching! ':O' , every side & every thing you see is embossed, including the lids!

It will be worth it John. I think that is the best looking embossed machine made. I hope that one is a keeper. I love the embossing on those. I wish they would have made an 81 with that embossing on the sides. Wouldn't that look cool.

Johnie - I'd be interested to know what you end up paying for the handpainting.  My buddy has a guy that does all their shop's work, supposed to be top-notch.  Said he'd do the embossed part of my Ideal for $80.
