that's what I used on my rear quarters, but I went a little too deep and didn't realize till today when I took one of the interior panels off...

So I siliconed them shut and plan on getting 97 up doors soon instead. I also just realized that I'm a CF veteran now too. Lol

Man, that sucks. You just put that in too. No chance you have the cowl leak issue too?

nah, the carpet up near the the front and around the pedals is dry. It's only wet near the door and in front of seats up to the tranny tunnel. I thought I had found all the leaks before I installed the carpet but i guess not.

Oil leaks have been fixed for a while but there is no telling how long the starter had been getting the treatment before I did that. It really did not look bad. I'm going to take it to the starter shop when I get a chance. Might as well have a backup with the way I'm going through them.

Lol, sure that counts!

I've got one of their barrels on mine for now, till I switch over to a 14.5" eventually. Don't care much for their complete uppers, poor buggers can't set a FSB straight up to save their lives.

bought a 34/78 agm battery from advance auto, quarter inch to long for redmuck 2.0's tray, so I still had redmuck 1's tray, which is bigger, so I switched them. put a new muffler clamp on too. cut 4 bolts off the stock rear bumper, cause they were loose and making noise, and couldn't tighten them up. they were seized up.
