What did the factory use?
Well, its unfortunate, CC I'm not going to get a price like that here in Va Beach. He charged me 30.00 for a couple corner brackets the last time I was there each was no bigger than a tuna can and bare metal already. I'm pretty much over it, should move closer to you by the sounds of it. Its probably going to be paint!
I see you are in Tennessee, I used to live in Jackson and was a Navy Recruiter there. Huntingdon, Milan, Martin....all my area, probably drove by your place a 100 times a month "on the hunt" LOL
