Nice early touches Bro ! Most folks don’t put stock in fire suppression but it’s definitely better to have and not need than to need and not have ! I’d recommend a panel prep type alcohol based cleaner for use when lettering to ensure cleanliness and adhesion, and a quick tip for the shackles you installed: On the boat and barges we always screw the shackles in tight and then back them off a quarter turn so they don’t seize. Hope this helps !
Absolutely brother. Many years ago I was in Alaska. Me and a buddy were doing some off road trail driving when we came up on an old IH scout. Suddenly we saw smoke from his hood. We all stopped and that was when I saw the flames coming out from his front driver wheel well. I immediately grabbed my extinguisher and ran up to him just before he was going to open the hood. I told him no and was able to put the fire out. He asked me how he could re pay me and I just asked that he replace my extinguisher. Which he never did off course. Anyway, since then I've always had one in every car I've ever owned.
The lettering looks sharp.
Thanks bud. I thought it looked better too.

That ole ounce of prevention ALWAYS trumps a pound of cure lol !
@skipgumphrey9579 you know it. I've seen way too many car fires that could've been prevented.
