and this..

This is what happens when parts don't arrive all at once when I want them... I go A.D.D, and let them sit around the house for 2 years before actually installing...

Nice, I liked my pillarpod when I had it....the full pillar pods are sooo much nicer than those half ones that screwed on :P
Decided to cut the AEM Eugo cable or cut a huge hole in the firewall?

nah, but he did provide meford with the tip on getting properly matched paint that was passed along to me... coupled with a trip to buffalo for a hockey game, an offer of help from meford and the son, hell, it's just too damn convenient NOT too.
Of course, I don't know how 'deep' I'm getting in by asking the favour, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.

afternoon? I doubt we will be there in the afternoon. We have to install his guage pod and I anticipate that might take a few hours inbetween beers.
So I would say dinner at St. Louis.
If you want to stop by my house, feel free. Anyone.

(This post was last modified: 04-16-2006, 12:27 AM by OAC_Sparky.)
A couple of quick tips:
- take the existing a-pillar off and match everything up on the table, don't do it "in car".
- Don't forget to pre-paint the pushpins -- poke a couple of holes in a piece of cardboard and put the pins in there to hold them while you paint - leave them out a smidge to "get around the edge" with the paint.
Optional recommended step - pick up a little tube of paintable construction adhesive (I used Bulldog Grip PL Polyurethane Door, Window and Siding Sealant), carefully run a small bead up inside the pod to stick the two together. This has to be your LAST STEP before final assembly. If you accidentall slop a little you can paint it up.
If I have time today I might try to stop in -- but no promises, I'm building my shed and it depends on my progress.
