Just one question. Where exactly do you park and do you believe in the 2nd amendment

thats two questions Peter, yes I believe in the second amendment and I park in my driveway. So my question to you is: are you faster then a speeding bullet? (laughing my ass off) For my next trick: I bought a precut piece to weld in the back door licence plate and then took it to a salvage yard put it over the pass side door where the handle is cut it out with my new cordless sawzall and after I trim it and practice sheet metal welding I will fill in that plate box area and still have my door handle.

just don't run a continuous bead on your sheetmetal...tack, let cool, tack on the opposite site, let cool, and keep on going until it's a solid line of tack welds...take your time so you don't warp the door skin...some shows say to use a flap wheel instead of a grinder stone to smooth the weld back down as it creates less heat, i haven't used one yet, but when i take the ugly ladder rack off my van and weld the holes up, i'll be trying one out...

I like the one on Green, all you see is the 2" receiver. Shows that it can work, but is much cleaner looking IMHO.

I agree. That's what I've got on mine. With a cheap, black receiver plug, it pretty much disapears.
