That being said, all the Firebird parts are bolted on, so if I decide later that I don't like the look, I can still change it again.

Thanks for the reply. I think I do remember you writing about keeping it simple. Although, that was before you created those awesome brackets.
I didn't think about the bottom. That would be a challenge to hide and certainly not simple. Like you said though, you can always revisit that later (Firebrid v1.1).
Keep up the good work. I truly enjoy seeing this all come together.
