Re: typhoon redo

The truck looks great, can't wait to see it all done.

All that work and you left the roof rack on?

I really like the third brake light, it looks like it was meant to be there.

Nick

thanks
we will be putting the roof rack back on after it is reconditioned/painted
92 had 2 options -it is one i have so i feel obligated

thanks on the third brake light- there was peeling scaling rust inside where it was cut out from.
we removed the rust and Bill FIGURED we would fill it with that

which is nice

thanks really appreciate it!

glass specifics-
The rear quarter glass was removed but the tint stayed FACTORY.
The driver and passenger side windows were removed and tinted with the back while paint was going on.

In PA the tint laws suck so the front ones are light at 35% (to not be so far off the quarter glass)
AND THE REAR is like 80%- which should be in the legal range
