    I'd like to know the answer to this as well, as no matter how damn hard I try to blend, there is always a "tell" where I did the work. Great looking work!!

    It all starts in the fit up of the parts when you tack them up. Everything must be at the same level. After you tack it up, hammer and dolly will smooth it up before welding. Also now that I have hit 50, a good pair of gl***es helps a lot when you are grinding the weld down! You dont want to grind anything but the weld. Then a round of filing to highlight the highs and lows. Tap them all out, check with body file one more time, and then hopefully its DA time! Patience and time are all you need.

    Are you going to install a 12V beard warmer that plugs into one of the cigarette lighters to go with the tilt/telescoping column?

    Do you want the a/c vents in the overhead console too? I think they will fit next to the stereo.
