ctubutis Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Getting there inside Gary, These kinds of reactions will occur when ANY current or previous (e.g. Revolutionary War Confederate) U.S. flag is used for something like this, be it a headliner or seat cover or something else. This touches a lot of different emotions in different people with different values, and people react exactly like you can see here in this thread. C'est la vie; it gives people an opportunity to display their true colors, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the comments aren't hateful or mean-spirited I'll let them continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetesPonies Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Basics, maybe. details, not so much. Calm down Pumkin'. We as a society want everything our way, do what we want, and everyone needs a "participation trophy" Basic rules and etiquette seem to serve a purpose only when you want it to.... If you want to be Ignorant, (not arrogant or disrespectful) please be my guest. But your cutting up a flag to use it as a headliner, (as cool as a 16 year old may think it is) you may find yourself in a confrontation with someone in the near future riding around like that. I do find this disturbing and a unit of measure how far we have let us go..... We need to start following some common sense rules/guidelines like put the phone down and not walk into the pole, the need cars that stop for us cause we don't watch the road and instead of cracking down on rules, ...make the car stop for the dufusses..... Take some responsibility and pride in yourself... Lieutenant Ron Recchia Don't ever tell me to calm down. I am my own spirit, of which you have no control over. That's as nice as I can be without a gesture. Find something else to bitch about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that brings in some work that needs done to the left door. I need to install an S spring and I had some terribly, heavy chipping on the door, as well as two spots in the lower corners. So the door came off, the chips addressed as well as the corners. Primed today, sanded and sprayed tomorrow morning and back on the truck late afternoon.

There were two types of hinges, one used a spring steel plate, the other the S. Do your hinges have holes top and bottom of the hinge where the S spring can be inserted? Or do you have a broken off plate in the middle of the upper hinge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Did the paint repair before football, installed the door after football. Good day. Now , I really have to decide what to do about the speaker grille. Making good progress. On the speaker grille, scoring a pair of good ones from a salvage, or from someone on here would solve the problem. But I'll warn you that people have told me the re-pops from places like LMC aren't as good as the original ones. A friend put the ones from LMC on and they flex quite a bit, as if the plastic isn't as thick or some bracing wasn't included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
