What's on your Work Bench?

Finished that 8274 today. Turned out nice.

Then went to install my new steering but it was cut too short. Half the thread length is unused.

Decided to start cleaning up the cage I bought from a local 8 guy last year. May have it installed for Sand Hollow.

Finally got around to altering some MTS control cables to look a little more like OEM;

Nicely done. That's been my big hang-up about replacing factory pulls. How exactly did you get the pattern printed off?
 
I work in a print shop :thumbsup: Printed on adhesive vinyl stock and laminated for durability.
Tricky part is punching them out centered. I used a .75" leather punch and "eyeballed" them for position (about a 50% reject rate for the few I did).

Would you consider selling sheets? It's one thing keeping me from buying the MTS pulls too. And you painted the "trim" ring, I'm guessing?

Removed ball joints from Dana 44 flat top knuckles and listed them on eBay

Yes I painted the base with "silver" paint as chrome plating would be a major PITA.

I'd be happy to mail some of my leftover decals if you PM me an address. I don't have any left with lamination, but Kinkos or OfficeMax can do that for a few $.

Is it possible to get the "print ready" file to have some made locally?
Thanks.
