    great write up. I've been wanting to do thissince I bought my truck but didn't have the balls to start prying on the things. I bought some extra lenses so I'm ready.
    My only question (probably a dumb one) is, why electric? can't I use my gas oven just as well?
    Let me know.
    Thanks,
    Bill.

    Gas oven's tend to get too hot too fast, not to mention the possibility of flames

    I've never tried it in a gas oven, and haven't really heard from anybody who's tried it in a gas oven yet, so I just suggested electric if you have one available. Now I barely cook at all, lol but in my very minimal experience with stoves lol, electric stoves/ovens seem to be a bit easier to control the exact temp than gas, and don't get as hot as quick as gas. i'm sure it can be done in a gas oven as well, but I would check it more often than what I recommended checking with the electric just to be safe.

    I guess I don't cook much at all either because my wife just informed me that our oven IS electric.
    I just got pulled over again for the second time in a month because of my smoked tails so tomorrow, we're cookin tails.

    I was thinking of leaving mine with some of the chrome on, like one of the first pics in the write up. We'll see how it goes.

    Willy,
    looks good.
    I went with a DSG trim around the outer edge to cover the "globby" look of the sealer.
