Since the weather has gotten colder, I decided to do a little inside project. I remembered I bought Stainless Steel Bling covers for the front grill bars. I had forgotten I did not drill the holes for the attachment clips. I wanted that done before the grill is painted. Measured all the bars and drilled the 1/4 inch holes for the clips. Got it all back apart now and ready for paint.
It was one degree temperature out this morning and tonight it is snowing. Suppose to get to 11 below zero by Wednesday. Thursday we leave for Pensacola FL for two months. Hope winter is over by the time we get back. The painting should be progressing well by then.
See you in the spring, I'm running for the sun.

Roll Pan
After a little research, decided to try to make a roll pan. The reason for this is to try to cover as much of the trailer hitch as possible. I also think I want the license plate to be just above the hitch in the middle of the roll pan. Did a quick mock-up with a piece of peg board. Thought I might buy one off E-BAY, but went to a local metal shop and had them break a piece for me. I think the straight piece will cover the hitch better than a rolled one. The tail gate has a 1 1/4" rolled piece on the top and bottom. I bought a piece of 1" conduit and sliced one quarter out of it and will tack it on the corner to match the tail gate. Cold weather has set in so I left it here until it warms up.
