Looks good, but did that bracket have a past life as a road sign?

Durty, That's a nice tailight. Looks real clean with the bobbed fender. What did you use to cut the fender? Dremel? or something else?

Started with a Dremel to make a fine line removed the tape ,then broke out the 4in grinder with cutting wheel and finished , managed not to burn any of the paint which was my biggest concern touched up the bottom of the cut with paint . I dissasembled the entire set-up tonight , couldnt decide on powder coating or polishing the bracket . Ended up polishing the bracket and shot it with a couple of coats of clear .If I must say it looks much better polished. Will post some more pics of the finished (yea right) job .
