Ah well lol It's all good. Still fun to watch all the effort

I understand where you are coming from, but the over fenders cause a 3-4mm increase in height on the top of the quarterpanel, with that being said, the build up was the best route to take especially with shaving the lock and eliminating the rubber stoppers in order to install the hood pins. Doing it this way I can ensure it is level, the most important thing [weather stripping sealing up] happens and everything looks like it was supposed to be that way from the factory.

Weight is no concern to me, I am actually looking at custom fabbing up a weight bar that will allow for me to put more weight on and take weight off when needed, however a stripped down S Chasis with a 900+ HP RB26 can use all the weight it can get.
