No problem Mike, glad you liked it.

I guess I'm trying to impress the wrong crowd, I thought for sure more of you were car guys. There's no time for scratch built V8s when I could be showing off bolt ons or something

Ya, next time show some pics of your upgraded exhaust or new 13" rotors lol,,, you'll get more responses hahaha.....

I liked it because it brought back memories of my high school metals class. We had to make a casting of a B&M shifter handle and cast it in molten aluminum using a sand mold. After it was cast we had to sand it down and polish it. Good times.... I think the liablitiy insurance would be too high for somthing like that in todays high schools LOL...
