Nice job MacGyver! :lol: I never would have thought of sink drains. As I was reading, I was like, What? But it came out great! I took about 3 hours to make a bezel for my tach and another hour to make the block-off. Oh, and I love the chrome! I hope I find a chrome on myself.

You know reading this thread reminds me of something I heard on an aquarium board I was on.

You know you are addicted to __________ when you can go to a store and think of ways to use the stuff on the shelves for your project.
