    Same here. A while back the on-star in my pickup didn't work. When I called them I was told it hadn't been driven in so long it needed a reboot.

    Tutorials on Ricasso end scale shaping?

    I place my pins the same distance on both ends of the scale. When I shape the front of the scales I grind a pretty steep angle to a thickness of about 1/16-3/32". I scribe a radius for the front. I sand and buff that as a finished area. When I sand the scales the shape of the finished area...

    Quick question.

    Kevin, be very very careful! If y deal with Gina she will damage your "lemon squeezie". I don't blame you for not doing business with Homer. His focus these days is burgers. Obviously this is no way to attract a person of your stature.
