May to September is better then none at all. Had a place in AZ once that was only 1/2 mile away. Loved it before it built up so much.

Found an "OK" driver side panel in the JY the other day




As you can see the old tan door panel is badly damaged, the "new" door panel is in better shape but the wrong color, has cracks on the top and a broken bolt hole, the one next to the vent window and missing arm rest, but on the upside it had the window switch bracket in good shape, painting it soon well, as soon as get my lazy *** of the couch.

Lucky find, it was on a rolled over truck at the JY and even this door panel suffered from a mentally unfit person looking to get $2 speakers and decided to rip the door panel off. I hate pick a part places.

Man why can't Ford make a better transmission. J/K
830k out of anything let alone a transmission is pretty amazing. What are the plans for the new trans?

This Corona-virus **** is crazy, I was planning on taking my truck to Mexico but with talk of port of entry closures I'm hesitant to take it over there for its paint and trans rebuild. Fak!! What to do, what to do????
Just the other day some Cubans were trying to cross over and border agents had to close one of the bridges down. It's not one tging it's another lol.

I got quoted a few years back $400 for a "professional" job or 100-150 for just an over spray with minimal body work.
