Title: Thanks once again to Mike Ross!!!
Post by: GoMangoBoys on July 31, 2021, 04:12:00 PM
I spent MANY hours restoring our grille.  I completely disassembled it by grinding off all the rivets.  I bought new rivets but did not have the proper rivet tool.  Mike offered to help me with his tool.  I went over last week and he helped me install all the rivets.  All that is except for the ones that hold on the bracket that I did not know I was missing.  Luckily he had one that he could show me.  After I tried without success to buy a bracket, I went back to Mike's shop to make a template of his.  I went home, made and painted my new bracket, and this morning Mike helped me finish up the last 3 rivets.
He has sure been a great asset for me to have nearby.

Seems canadians are breeding thin skins up there. 

Please keep up the pictures Ross.  Even if they are just a few screws that need to be replaced.   

I enjoy learning every little bit I can.
