[Devillusion]

Thanks guys........been busy with family stuff as of late and no real progress to make note of. Hope to get back at one of the projects here very soon.

As for the column, all I did was cut and grind off the nub, then put some 2 part epoxy putty that layed inside the hole slightly, let it cure, then hit it with another shot to level it off plus a bit higher than the housing, then let that cure, sand down level, hit with a very light coat of bondo, sand, prime, paint. Done.
