Dream, seems it can take 24 hours for FTE to reset.

Go up to the top bar User CP - Albums - 'FAQ' and search 'signature.'

I'll blend out these crack initiators once I get custody of my van and do a fiberglass repair later.

They sawzall'd a bird's mouth in the front quarter panels leaving ragged metal cuts, and with a BFM mashed over the rear edge of the wheel wells shattering the paint.
I'll have to pull the front quarter panels and weld the bird's-mouth shut and burnish out the 'new' rolled edge.

Know any custom work body shops that can re-sculpt my fenders?

Hi there Ken

As for pictures, yes after I wash my van.

The service manager was 'shocked' that my van wasn't detailed when I brought her out to it yesterday to see the hack job.

I know they moved the van, but I'm not holding my breath that they washed it.

I intend to take pictures of the 'as left for me' and after I get the wheel wells dressed out.

locking one hub and not the other can be problematic. check that.

I can't believe the condition your van is in, Dave. I would be wicked pissed. I can't believe you are being so calm.
