Now I can look for a grey paint Sorry for getting my finger in the way

Re: PO has me PO'd
I think I'd have to see it on the truck, and I don't think I'd go with Amber if I did it. Strictly personal preference though.

You have spent too much time, effort, and money to screw it up now.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 16023352546684731820512113943781 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/97391199@N06Thank you all for your p/c and unbridled opinions. I'm going to go with the nay, for now, but I may revisit it with KC lights in the near future Now onto my front driveshaft, it was rebuilt by a local driveshaft shop. Never really gave it much thought as it never really made any noise, but when they did my transmission they left it out, telling me it was bad. Sure enough, when I took it to the shop, I couldn't believe how sloppy it was, not only twisting at the splines but up and down deflection, so that is my report OSHA said they couldn't paint it, since they didn't have a spray booth

Re: PO has me PO'd
Use the 3 o'clock position on the cutoff wheel, or it will tend to kick back, basically cut forward

Re: PO has me PO'd
Went over to eastwood co. To pick up some of their super strong panel magnets, easier then clamps

Re: PO has me PO'd
You have to make slices, and then 2 bends to fit up to the inner panel

Re: PO has me PO'd
May have gotten a little ahead of myself, should have left the patch panel large. Don't know if I can weld .120 gap

Re: PO has me PO'd
Started working on my vent windows, rebuild kit from brothers. Disassembly went ok except a couple of spinning heads, which I took care of with my dremel and a new cut off wheel

Re: PO has me PO'd
Ordered a new handle with my rebuild kit, used a 3/32 drift pin punch, but you don't have to knock it out all the way, just far enough to get past the groove in the post inthe window
