	Are you going to do a wheelhouse notch in it? I don't know how well you fit behind the wheel, but for me, I wish I did. And no, I'm not big, just tall and my legs get cramped.

	No plans for a notch...I may regret it... It hadn't even crossed my mind to tell you the truth... I haven't driven this jeep....I only sat behind the wheel for a few moments after I got it home...

	You may want to think about it. I really wish I did it to mine. I'll do it when I go to sandblast and repaint the body in the future. I'll suffer for a few more years.

	Google Chrome... The problem must be in my computer....or in my technique!! Randy But when you post the larger picture and then click on it, you are not directed to the album...it's a mystery...

	Are you grabbing this link I highlighted in the red box? BTW, Bill, feel free to take these posts off to create a FAQ.

	Yes, that is the link.... I noticed that when using IE I could highlight the link and copy it. With Chrome I need to right click on the link, click "select all" to get it to highlight, and then right click to copy...all this started once I upgraded to the new photobucket...

	I did some work on the drivers side today. The bottom edge was rusted out so I made a repair strip. looks pretty bad in the picture...I scraped and ground what seemed like 2 pounds of bondo off it.... It really looks better than it did...

	I made a small piece for the wheel arch... Ready for the grinder....quite a bit of burn-through. mostly pretty good steel with the occasional weak spot....
