Thanks for lookin' out for me Dennis. You never know when I might do something stupid. It is a reverse flow pump. I have too take it off now and paint it. Just mocked everything up. Again thanks for the look out.

I can't remember where I got them. They are 8-9 years old. I still have the box, Billet Specialties PN 95226, but they don't list them any more. Here is a LINK to what they offer now.

Think i should try to go back and add on to it on the inboard side or bush over the bolts in the gap?

I'll post some pics on my post tonight.

Bob, I looked at post 72 and it isn't the right post. I think I know what you are talking about, but i will wait for your pix too comment.

NASA called and they said you've got to take out a permit to have something that bright here on Earth.

My wife laid a Honey do list on my desk one day and I slid it under the calender. She asked me if I had seen it. I said no. She found it a couple weeks later. It's a big laugh now.

is it just regular body filler or is it a special filler
its usually green
To be honest, I've never used it. So, I can't be of much help. Sorry.

Check your local AutoBody supply.

Spent the evening sanding. Yehaw!



Bottom of cab still in work. Sanding is bad enough, but laying underneath the cab makes it worse. I'm using DA's as much as possible.



Here are some DA's that I use. I hardly use the one on the right. It is very aggressive and the counter weight can bust knuckles and rip off fingernails. I know all too well. I love the one on the left. It has a fine cut and won't remove fingernails. The mini DA 3" is great for door jambs and tight areas.
