Definitely the Power Stroke emblem, unless you have one that says" Do not Open"

Nice fab work too by the way. It would look good with no emblem.

I fabbed the cover...........the stock plastic cover was too cheezy. Plus I wanted to hide the fuel filter, wiring, engine valley, etc. to make a more smooth look.

Had a spare few hours and decided to fab it up.

Thanks for the kudo's.

11 gauge steel, and a special bracket I made that utilizes your stock HPOP cover studs.

I'll add a picture to my link that shows the stand off bracket..............

Brother, you got too many tools laying around your garage. Plasma cutter, drill press, grinders, welders......yes, that is jealousy.

Very nicely done. I like it either plain or with the 444 logo...... or you could get the powerstroke logo laser etched.
