I know this feeling ! . BT & DT many times over in the last decades .
Like you said , nothing beats the knowledge that a thing , any thing , is yours alone and made so by your own two hands .
Good on ya and never stop taking those baby steps .
Handing out a helping hand to others too , is a goodly manner of a Man .

i installed an led dome light from autozone. only has 3 leds and it isnt much brighter than the regular festoon. meh, for 5 bucks its ok.
also pulled off a tire that has a slow leak and cleaned up the bead sealing surface on the rim a little bit then had the tire remounted and balanced. i noticed they added more weights than what was previously on the tire. makes me wonder how accurate some of these places really are. my next plans are to mount two LT's in the rear, maybe they are a little taller when installed than the bald passenger rated goodyear's that are on there.
its miller time! i raise mine to every single one of you, keeping these awesome machines around, and im so ecxited that i get to be a part of it all!
