He was using the braille method, and the fiberglass did not appreciate it. Here was the post-crash lineup. The bumper folded like a tortilla. When you work with plumbers, you fix everything with plumber's tape. The headlight and front corner were threatening to fall off and I have some jobs to finish before taking it for repairs. __________________ 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 SRW 4x4 with 6MT 2003 TDI Beetle 2002 TDI Beetle currently parked - 1996 Dodge 2500 Cummins Turbodiesel Custom cab, auto, 3.55 gears

Saved both headlights.
