    Yup, I can do that. I've got 1 or 2 already that I'm lining up to do in mid Dec.
    I was thinking about putting in an LED order this week, so if you tell me what exactly you want done I can add the required LED's to this order and then you can pay me back when we do your cluster.

    LED type = SMD3528 PLCC2
    Price is $.59 ea, + shipping

    - Tach = 2
    - Tach Needle = 2
    - Speedo = 3
    - Speedo Needle = 3
    - Temp = 1
    - Temp Needle = 1
    - Fuel = 1
    - Fuel Needle = 1
    - Odometer = 3
    - Turn Signals = 2 per side
    - Additional indicators (ie: Gear position, Batt, Cruise etc..) = 1 per light
    - Steering Wheel lights = 6

    I still plan on it next summer. That's why I keep telling myself not to put any money into it. But I HATE the wheels that are on it

    Got my fingers jammed in a metal door today. OUCH. It's yet to be seen if the index nail stays on. No projects for me in the next week or so. This is my good hand too, naturally.

    I'm irritated because I wanted to figure out why my front passenger door lock won't lock all the way. I have to manually push the switch to lock it. Anyone ever have this issue?

    Ouch! Glad you didn't break any fingers!

    Not sure about the lock though. Never heard of that issue :/

    Ouch dude. Looks painful. I had to get a toenail removed a few years ago. If you go to the doctor and they give you the option to take drugs to help it, or remove it...REMOVE IT! It felt so much better the minute they ripped it off haha. Unfortunately it grew back about 4 times as thick and a nice yellow color :eek:

    Lol, with my frostbite my toenails RARELY stay on. As a matter of fact just the evening my pinky toenail came off.

    I think
    I've lost every fingernail at some point or another, pinky finger most recently. That thing took forever to grow back. The skin underneath is super weird looking. All wavy and stuff.

    If it's swollen too much under the nail, stick a paperclip in the microwave for ten seconds and lance it.

    Work's quick if it's about to burst too, and keeps your nail from growing back strange.

    OH! Good advice! Thanks! I lost this same nail (as I recall) when I was like 10 years old. It wasn't so much the pain I remember (it was sore as hell), but the "weird" feeling once it was off. Hated that. Going to be hard to pick the guitar for a while. Laaaame

    The wait for this GB is freakin killing me, man. I just want my damn projectors haha. I bought the paint from work to black out the reflectors and shrouds and have all the tools I think I'll need ready to go. I think I'm gonna buy new brake pads to give me something to do in the meantime.

    You wouldn't happen to know if it'd be bad to put new pads on warped rotors, would you? They are just slightly warped. I will replace them soon enough, but my pads are almost completely gone.
