Nice intro there! Glad you didn't hurt yourself too bad when polishing those rings aye. Jeez! That could of gone a lot worse. I like to use my welding gloves when doing stuff like that also. I had a few close calls when doing my alternator so know what it's like!

For sure. Half inch cut to my thumb was WITH work gloves (those black ones from Harbor Freight). I felt the wind in my hair when that thing went past my head.

Man I just got my rubber kit off of ebay and its a bit overwhelming as except for the 2 door rubbers and the trunk rubber nothing is marked. Heck how will I know if I even got everything I was supposed to?

I just figured this out AFTER cutting the wrong one to length (video footage no one will ever see LOL).

This one has been out for three months. Sorry I didn't get a link put up. I've been struggling with health issues since this was put on YouTube.
Here is VLog 42. I'll be putting 43 up in a week or so.
