Sure, nothing exciting around the shop. Wifey wants to do lunch at the Shore, so I'm takin' Friday off. Plus I sliced my knuckle open, so it needs a couple days to heal...

Sell any parts?

Re: PO has me PO'd

Glad I finally found all your pictures on the floor install. I'll be ready to start cutting after my vacation is over. Then i'll see if I need any extra pieces from Jon as well. Stay tuned everyone, another floor install will be starting soon. Who needs a rust free Arizona cab anyway, not us!

Good work...

Re: PO has me PO'd

Got some more work done today, worked in the kick panel area. Sure is nice to work in this area without the cowl on it. I cut out a small notch on the kick panel(top rear bolt) so it fits tighter on the floor pan, no gap when bolted up

Re: PO has me PO'd

This is where I left off for Jon on the cab corner, he has someone else taking over as I have to start a new job on Monday





Another front end, POS replacement parts fit like a glove(sorry Jon, just had to say it...LOL)

Re: PO has me PO'd

Well, the short story is.....it was a 3 month hiring process for a large pharmaceutical co. Background check, blood and drug check, 3 interviews and it had tobe approved by a VP or above. I should be able to get a job at the Gov's office now. I start Monday

But the good news is I get to play with the Jimmy again

Re: PO has me PO'd

Thanks Jon, but I'm as far back as I can go, I'm in the basement as it is Those moldings came from ScottH in Tom's River, 20.00 and 10.00 for the headlite surrounds. What a guy and what a deal. The ones in Upstate were junk, cracked torn and dented...caveat emptor, I'll keep looking for steel, I like the look of Kevs Classic

BTW, I was cursing your product...turn signals wouldn't fit!! On the off chance, I switched them from right to left, and they dropped rite in, call me an idiot.

Did ya get a chance to look at that eyebrow and hood trim yet, who's the vender, I may be going that way

Your stuff is JUNK, and I highly recommend it to everyone. I have not had one piece that doesn't fit well. I still have more pcs. to fit so we'll see... cowl hood, inner fender wells

As you know; I also need a set....so if you know where the "Good ones" come from keep me posted. Those trim pieces haven't come in and, as of right now, I don't have a firm date for them.
