Hi Charles, Errr, hmmm, yep, I now remember that post and even replied to it, oh well, must be the heat, or Chinese booze or heaven forbid, old age. Cheers, John,

Charles, not to be prying, but if the insurance company paid off they found in your favor, thus, there seems to be an opportunity for an aggravated injuries claim here, so why are you not in a wheelchair all bandaged up with a great pained expression or was the thought of the rebuild so compelling, you threw away the crutches, hopped outa the wheel chair and had a miracle recovery? Cheers, John AKA, tin-man

Every is lining up /centered /level. Maybe next week we can mount body to graph in new fender. Cargi has been a great help through this process
