Plan on having my swap done first week of March. Weather should be decent by then and the only thing I'm waiting on is that harness from [MENTION=99584]ibd2328[/MENTION]

As it cures it will separate..smashed or not with that type of setting/application. That's why you don't use silicon with existing anyway. Has to be as one and cure as one. Can't be patched with same. It's also picky with many applications,- has to be contamination free when setting in place...all surfaces, in order to cure leak-free.
But hey, not everything follows the rules of science, it may surprise and work against those odds. So I wouldn't touch until it proves a fail.

Damn,we may finish within a week or so of each other.
I give you more credit though,you aren't having a shop do it lol. I just don't have the time,place or tools to do it. Plus my dad said he won't haul my truck all the way down here,so unless I start pushing I'm sol.

Mines going to take a little longer. Not in time to meet up. Bummed out to hear you guys were having the meet so soon. Mine won't be ready, - unless I hire someone to paint it and do the finish work maybe. But I just can't trust it $#$$$@#!! Wish I could sometimes.

Right! seen to many bad paint jobs lol. Doing that correctly, the preparation is most important and time consuming as hell. Most, with a good eye, don't have that sort of time it takes to be competitive in the business. That's extremly important is the restoration field. Shooting it, - yes there's a knack. But allot of it is just experience. Knowing people that have these items is a huge short-cut for those learning. Hell, I had a personal trainer on the net lol, - just worked out that way. Lucky! The shops been set up for it for awhile now, - well the best it can be. - I should say it's outfitted now....Don't have tuh cut corners .
