    Paul,

    Thanks for the input ... and another thing to order from M-C. I like the look.

    I wish I had thought of the issue with the paddle hitting the paint if in the closed position.

    Since i have already drilled the holes do you think I could reshape the paddles so they won't hit the exposed part of the hood?

    I probably wouldn't do anything to the paddles. I'll bet most other builds have the same issue. Up to you though. Just be aware and don't learn the hard way like I did. Move them back a little on the next build!
