"Get off my lawn". Oh poop. Maybe your right. Or that 270 degree barrell roll out in the desert did some brain damage.
Hmmm that must be it, who in their right mind would ride back in that mad max machine. ? ?
Sorry to de rail you have done more work than I would EVER dream of taking on.

I did it as a project, my arm is paralyzed. Tie your arm around your back and give it a shot.......AND NOT YOUR PREDOMINATE ARM EITHER, lol........show us how that works out for you. Shit, I don't know many that have the balls to go for it in the first place much less one handed....give us a new how to write up BIRD! it's about that time ayy!
FYI: this is my second retrofit. Helped a few buddies but this is a first with painting too.

I hope you didn't take my comment as an insult! I meant what I said and give you props for putting in the time and dedication to finish this project with 1 arm. I would have said screw it long before 32 hours lol

Lmdo! Alls good bro, I had to reiterate my frustration for ya. I think I said screw it three times throughout this project! Hahaha, wound up pushing me more instead.
Gotta get it somehow, rite?! Thanks for the kind words. But, yea u rite! With all the time I spent retrofitting, could have been at my shop collecting $$. I knew this from the get go really, but I enjoy retrofitting along with near impossible tasks, lol
