Title: My Grouper Special Special
Post by: Maxed Out on January 18, 2017, 01:28:40 AM

It's a narrowed black 4/0. I used 99 posts, a tank top custom narrow seat, and a 66 spool. The chrome spool will be replaced by stainless.

  This used to be an impossible build, because no narrow seat was available.....till now.  8) 8).

Do you have a photo of it next to a standard width?  Also, it should be shown as TANK TOP!!! 😜  Your stuff is killer friend.

Ted, Here's my Grouper Special. Thanks for making these narrow Tank Tops available. I'm just posting the exterior photos here. I'm going to post the innards over on Sal's Grouper Special thread.
