Jesse-

GREAT job on the JD combine!

Keep it up and you'll have a load for that lowboy.

Thank you! Yes I did for the sleeper. I sanded them 500 grit and then painted them with lexan window tint spray on the outside surface. They also needed a little sanding around the edges to fit in the openings. Overall I'm pretty happy with them tho.

Man, I didn't want to hear that! What exactly did you have to do to them?

after looking at them and the one light fell off LOL!!
I drilled the mount to take a one of the little screws from the visor
and removed the stem in the light and screwed and zap glued together

Mine move like they're on a ball swivel. I'm guessing they aren't supposed to do that! LOL

It was great meeting up with you this morning. It was so cool the timing worked out!

Looks GREAT with the RC JD combine load Jesse. Lil Cooper called me just as I was pulling out of the TS this morning and I told him I just left you. I told him you'd be post'in some pics, so I'll show him.

Have a safe trip and hoping to see you soon.

Thank you! I'm very happy with it!

As for the paint booth, it's wherever I happen to be when I need to paint something! LOL! I know I still need to post pics of my workshop! I will say that it's getting kind of crowded in it!
