    @MagicToolbox

    Crazy part is, your parts won't get here until Saturday (just checked tracking).

    Yet parts shipped from here to the East Coast all arrived yesterday.

    Got some fucked up handling times when packages arrive to the West coast, or just the fact that it's a lot slower going from the East coast out West.

    I'm pulling your chain. As long as nothing falls OUT of the box, USPS, FedEx and UPS couldn't work _together_ and do damage to these parts.

    Oh no I ain't worried about damaged parts.

    I'd like to think all the parts would arrive, based on how everything is packaged up together.

    Buuuuut it is the 3rd Gen section :rofl:

    I was afraid some people would've complained about the parts being bare metal :anonymous:

    Yeah I noticed that as well. IIRC you shipped via priority, I'm pretty sure my wife just went with 'regular'.

    Ahh I forgot you used your own box.

    Yeah it was priority flat rate.

    I didn't want the cost of these kits to be higher had I ordered a bunch of boxes from Uline.

    It's only worth it if there are a lot of committed buyers and I'd say 36 total is a fair number, but not a lot.

    Unless it's an odd size...like the dino I had posted earlier.

    Had ordered boxes for them and I think I'm down to what 3 or 4 out of 40? Means I've sold over 30+ in the last year of these things.

    I'm wondering, with the sandwich. Spray fluid film between the layers to prevent rust? Or would having fluid film sandwich like that potentially trap in water and eventually lead to rust jacking?

    There's always mixed answers when it comes to pinch welds and stuff like that

    As long as the parts are painted and allowed to fully cure, it'd be no different than say a bumper or anything.

    Paint may appear to be dry after a day or two, but it'll still be soft if you apply any real pressure to it so I recommend giving parts an extra 3-5 days before installing them after being painted.

    Added it in a format that I hope is "easy to follow".

    Hope to see a few installs in the next week after many of your painted setups dry.
