    Oh no, don't sell yourself short. I'm sure you would have been smart enough to paint the cowl when I said go ahead & spray the doors too.. Lmao :rolleyes:

    I literally couldn't make this story up if I tried...

    Fortunately I did NOT let them hang a bumper for me. Thank God cause who knows what that would have ended up as..

    I will be doing that myself, hopefully with a little guidance from someone smarter than I.. :D

    Holy #### you cannot make that stuff up! Like wow! At the very least they could have called and said "hey did you want the cowl painted too?"

    You’re a wannabe second rate citizen trucker in training, or at least that’s how some people make you feel out here :D That being said, I’d bet on ya!

    P.S. Well every now and then you run across a swell person and David at Kiswire in Pine Bluff, AR is among them; he helped me with my tarps completely and held my winch bar for every strap I undid! :D

    What a day that was.. Here I was, flying high, had spend a good educational morning with you. Snagged a $3.20 pm load out of Kenova, near your backyard, & bang!! Darn deer..

    It a darn shame for sure.. Gotta eyeball every little thing, then message it out straight anyhow. What's the point. All these folks did was waste my money, & more importantly my time. Cost me the entire end of the year. Just decided to do the best I can getting it to my standards, & start anew come January..

    On the stainless steel front.. Am I better to use locking nuts, or lock washers.? Or zinc nuts? Or keep the metals matched & just don't make it ridiculously tight..

    It's still annoying!!!
    Don't you think they should've at least said "hey Mikey, this will look stupid if we don't paint the cowl!!" So paint it then, we're already in this deep.. LoL

    But I think you are right, & some shine can be brought back..
