Al, I got looking at it tonight and I can cut the chrome center section in half and turn it down in a lathe and it will still fit good. The extension would work also but I would have to really hack up the cowl to allow it all to fit. I work part time at a shop that does vacuum welding and I can have it welded together with a super smooth weld and very little extra weight. Just have to wait till we get a paying job to put in furnace with it.
