It sucked all the enthusiasm right outta me! Got the repair kit and gonna get back after it right away. Too close to having her in color and I'm running out of nice weather up here on the tundra! Thanks!
Whoa! You're in MG? We just moved away from there last summer, but I spent more than half my life living in 55369 (NE side of Rice Lake).
Sorry to read about the stripped threads. I feel your pain, but Congrats on the Helicoil repair, as...Yeah! It's starting to get too cool around here to do anything like painting.
