Not sure if Ken Stabilizer and the rest of the Raiders ( hint ) will like the blue ….I think they would prefer the traditional black on their uniform🤭

Excellent point, that was very Cowboyish of me

Lot of work you've done in a short time. Looking good.

thanks I definitely had help with the reassembly, and four months later I'm basically back to ground zero with the electric conversion, except on a nice clean canvas, which I love the way it turned out by the way

[Gregski]

So I ran out of the one pound of gloss black Eastwood powder coat to finish the anti swear bar brackets, as well as the brake bracket and it look's like the next bag won't arrive for yet another week: "Delay in delivery due to weather or unexpected circumstances." I just love FedEx

so I decided to work on something else and buy a pan friend bar

man my new buddy and your forum buddy pjmoreland helped me remove the old one with his feet as it was cranked down to infinity and beyond and we installed this one and within minutes adjusted it a few turns and that brought the butt of the truck back on center, so much better already

Excellent guess, but no, but here's a clue:

[Gregski]

and you thought door striker plates were only for the doors, silly rabbit

[Gregski]

and texter side off

[Gregski]

and both sides off

[Gregski]

then I decided to make the inner fender red, then black

[Gregski]

I like to clean and completely disassembly the parts I will no longer need before tossing them...

[Gregski]

a little motivation

[Gregski]

how many friggen fenders does this thing have...

[Gregski]

ladies and gentlemen, the Frustrator 9000

spent 90 minutes fixin', adjustin', troubleshootin', uncloggin' Big Red and about 9 minutes actually media a blastin', great ratio I'll take that every day of the week and twice on Sundays

[Gregski]

its amazing what derusting every inch of a piece will reveal and expose, you don't need a perfect eyecrometer to see this discrepancy

[Gregski]

here's a better look minus the shades

[Gregski]

meanwhile over at one eyed Earl's Precision Collision

as my old boss used to say don't give me problems give me solutions

[Gregski]

here at Ding Performance we only use OEM parts

Good stuff, love the jokes and the core support fix. Very ingenious.
