oil filter housing gasket took me right at 3 hours with quite a bit of head scratching (..how will I get my hands in THERE...) and some sips of beer. Wouldn't hesitate to do another.

Not on mine, the Cig logo on each quarter panel, Cigarette Top gun on the upper sides, and Cigarette across the wind screen, that's all.....But when its on the water ( Its unmistakable Class ) and they really don't need any graphics on them for people to know what it is................just like your Reggie boat, both iconic in their own right........... Cheers brutha's

Don't want to beat cole outta any work , but we got a water jet at work last year and the detail you can cut is amazing.

edit , not suggesting myself, just that they are pretty mainstream now , I know of 4 businesses in our area that have one.

I think everyone has a dealership story. In 02 I was looking for a new truck. Had a 98 ram then(still have it) and pulled into a dodge dealer. Walked inside the showroom and stood there for a good bit. Not one person acknowledged me. I told the first person I saw as I walked out that they just lost a sale. They chased me down to my truck asking me to come back in. About a year or so later they closed. Wonder why. I was looking for my first HD pickup. Ended up getting a brand new Silverado not to long after.

That's the route Id go. Standard plasma is good for weldments, not so much fine detail. Hi-Def plasma may work, never used it.
