Ain't that the truth? My neighbors couldn't begin to understand why I spent three months on my back under a car removing 30+ year old undercoating with kerosene and toothbrushes. "Nobody's ever gonna see it!"

Except me!

You're doing a great job Ken, can't wait to see the finished product. Have you decided on the color yet?

Ken,
I wish I lived around the corner too. I have a proper spring compressor I could have lent to you, or just done it for you. There's an art to positioning one of those things. SAFETY is always the first concern - not a speedy job.

Stitches on Christmas Eve..............I'll bet you won't forget this holiday!!!!

Anyway, I hope you're ok. (hands or head?)

Verne

Ken......in the future, please ask for help for A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G that you're not sure of. We're here to help if we can.
