Went out of my way to park there.

Skirt bolts. Next, waiting for the flange bolts to replace the outer ones.

PS. I've discovered the arrow shape in the Photos app of iOS. Expect more arrows in subsequent pics.

Maybe don’t sell parts that aren’t correctly measured, just a thought and I’m absolutely not amused. Kinda pissed off that I’ve spent money on an inferior product design.

...and for that price I would expect absolute perfection too. Arghhh.

I just got off the phone with him. I'm annoyed that I have to go out of my way to fix something that was meant to be bolt-on, so I'll ask someone local to relocate the latch, tig weld, then send it back to their shop for re-powder coating. He's nice enough to reimburse the cost. I get that there is a QC issue, but I don't want to be part of that convo.

@timmbuck2 told me to get my act together and finish the rig so I can join them on the 60 run, project planning all the interior work now, trying to figure out headliner color since I get one shot at it.

Meanwhile, found the grommets for the rocker panel. Also, those holes, they need plugs. Before I plugged them, I used the compressor to blow out stuff, about 10lbs of sandblast media. Very important things.

Installed the driver's side quarter panel emblem.

I should get those grommets. Since that area is rust prone, I sprayed a bunch of fluid film in mine when I did the interior of the frame.

Plugging some holes. I don’t know if I got them all correct, but they fit. The skirt is pretty decent, don’t recall if the skirt flange bolt needs a washer or not.

I never returned the equipment, and I'm glad I didn’t. Took the time to strip their coating, media blasted it. Prebaked it to 100 degrees, then powder, and finally, baked it till it reached 400 for 40 minutes, just pulled it. So far, it looks like it might have worked.
