I had it the original way but didn't like so I took it out.
The biggest reasons are the fact that you have to use 2 pieces any way you look at.
The problem you run into at the stock is at the hump in the frame you need to shave so much wood off it gets very thin to the point it is easy to break and allows noise to flow through easy.
At the stock location with the way the body contours in as you go lower the board have to be cut the same way. To easy to do .
3rd reason the 1" strip that holds it down are all *****ed up so this way I welded them tight, painted them and now will be hidden.
The integrity remains the same and should look good.
I am sure there are a million other ways to make it look good but this will work the nest for me.

I also plan on having the wood exposed with stain clear and then use 3 or 4 stainless strips to accent it
