Looks like a freshly media blasted regulator and new motor - - sweet!

Thanks for the tip Dusty. I'm getting close to refurbishing my fronts after completing the rears.

There are, it would seem, an infinite number of ways to pay "stupid tax". I am continually discovering new ones, but it always feels like a victory when I complete a project and manage to avoid that extra charge. :mrgreen:

I just rationalize my "stupid tax" as "learning curve". Makes being stupid more enjoyable! :mrgreen:

I really like the look. Are you going to continue it down the fenders?
