Just about done with the fuel system upgrade, just need to do some minor work on the debris shield and I need to shorten the shield about 1-1/4" or so. I had it made a little on the long side figuring it would be easier to remove metal than add metal back

I also plan on rounding the bottom corners to take away the sharp edges and add a lower brace to provide strength and stability. With luck I'll be able to back Peanut out of the shop sometime this weekend.

I currently have no plans to go anywhere and I doubt that I will have to work so the weekend should be open.

Debris shield is now in place. It's held in place by three bolts and seems to be nice and solid.

You 'had me going' for a split second Brad.

Looking at the image on my phone made it appear that he had sprouted a new AC upfront.....until I realized it was your coach parked behind!

I didn't remove Peanut's A/C unit, I just relocated it......
