Oh yeah... opening any rod ends make them look so much better. From gun cannons to exhaust pipes... really makes them pop that much more! Great job so far... sorry to hear about the kidney stones... I had my gall bladder removed and had 4 stones at the time... I know the pain!
Hehehehehe... after getting mine taken out I began eating all the spicy food I could... Tacos... Salsa... Chili... you name it! Jalepenos became my favorite condement!
