I have no love affair with Champion, but Griffins are 3 times the price. Not a little more. Glen Ray is 4 times as much. I don’t hear Champion owners complaining about the performance. Not even me. FINISH quality is not great, but BUILD quality is fine and when you build a car on a 33% budget you make your choices. I spent my money on other parts.

On a positive note, here’s what I’ve done with a piece of 1”x 1/16” aluminum bar stock. I’ll add a high-density foam rubber garage door seal lip underneath to seal the gap and rivet it on to some hand shaped L brackets. So goes hotrodding.

...and not bad for a guy with no access to a metal shop. 😊
