i normally just run them along the frame and use metal clips with rubber inserts to hold them in place....

luifer76 · 01-05-2013, 07:33 PM

little update i did a little more work before i stopped today and since im taking tomorrow off and im just gonna chill i started getting lazy already lol... i didn't like the way the Z and the 2X4 looked like where they met so i went ahead and boxed it in....
