Does anyone sell new pillars or do you have to cut from old doors? And will they fit a 34? Hey; I thought all Bubbas were in Alabama.
I will have to dig them out and see what I have. They are in my old shop and it may be a few days.
Sorry for the messed up reply, this computer is crazy. P.M. me if you need to.
OK dude. That looks a lot better. are you able to put something longe in the back to form it? If so, round it with the grinder and gently tap it.
I might have an extra pair, if you want original lights.
Oh by the way. What are your plans for the headlights?
If the upright runners are open on the back you could try grinding a piece of flatstock to fit in them and "gently" hammer them out. At least they...

I just found an old tread by gdub titled " Phospheric Acid / prep for primer " March 2012 Thought someone might be interested.
This is the kind of things I have been hearing and I personally will never use a POR type product on a vehicle. But I thought the Encapsulator,...
This is getting off the subject, but what are you building? The SS396 got my attention?
Roger that. Clean and no grease or oil residue if you want anything to stick. I'm afraid of the POR; i've heard too many horrow stories. BUT the...
