I don't disparage anyone who wants to get it. But I am not. For me, the survival rate is 99.96% VS an experimental product that was made in 9 mo. vs 9 years. Not interested in debate. You do you. I will do me and hopefully we continue to drive the roads for years to come.

TGIF everyone

Got the 2nd shot yesterday. This morning, my arm is really sore at the shot site. Couldn't sleep on it. Other then that. I'm fine. Some at work who got the 2nd shot wasn't feeling well the day after. And took the day off. Well.......I took the day off too.

Good excuse.

The only reason why I got the vaccine is because we travel a lot. Wanted that piece of paper that says we are vacc'ed. I figure it will be a passport.

You have a point; look what all those experimental shots did to you

Veterans do not know all the details and it a big unkown. It is not really a joking matter. Gulf War Syndrome is no joke. I have some funky issue I just don't talk about.

Yea.....you're just funky to begin with. The drug effects are just an added bonus.

I wanted to work outside today. But I'm staying inside. It's cold and windy.

Sorry to read these messages about cold weather, I’ll enjoy my 65 degrees and sun while we still have it. Have today off which feels amazing considering I’ve been working 70 hour weeks all of Feb/March

It's going to be in the 60's tomorrow.

Think Lien is getting about 2ft of snow.

I'm glad that you are doing those fenders and not me. I try to stay away from body work.

The passenger side looks normal comparing it with the OEM fender. The drivers side though is heavily bowed outwards near the middle of the fender where it meets the door. This has caused roughly an inch wide fitment gap between where the OEM fender normally bolts into the mounts and the side skirt section.

Surprisingly, the gaps between the fender/hood, fender/headlight, and fender/pillar are actually tighter than OEM.

Tough part I'm having is getting the fender to push downwards enough without cracking the carbon fiber. Right now, I have created a few small brackets that I rivetted to the bottom mounting holes of the fender. The goal is to flex the fender downwards enough to get rid of the bowed mid section and fasten is to the OEM mount locations positioned behind the side skirt. IDC what it'll look like since nobody will be able to see it anyways.

Then I cross my fingers th passenger side doesn't give me to much trouble....

Deal. $10 says it doesn't make it out of the driveway.
