Glenn - Four doors sure unique, everyone will know who you are.  The sheet metal work and design of the rear door jamb and fender opening done excellent, looks to me better than Factory.  Automatic over a 4 speed, that's interesting; I ran both a 4 speed and a TH400 in my Camaro, the automatic worked real well and was faster with the TH400.  Alan

Glenn - enjoyed seeing your videos.  Nice roomy shop, the overhead lighting excellent.  Alan

Alan, you are the second person to comment on the lights in the shop. They are just LED replacement overhead lights.

As shown in your video, lighting inside a building makes a huge difference, and selecting the lighting placement and correct color temperature very important in helping you make the area comfortable.  I can see your lighting has Kelvin (K) value of 5000 or above.  That just means it's like sunlight, bright daylight which is excellent for a work area.  A lower Kelvin value like 3000 is more of a warm light which you might use over a dining room table.  It would be softer, not so harsh bright white light.

You could light your shop with 3000K, but for doing tasks, 5000k is much better.  And...  I wish I could weld like that too!

I had a professional lay out the lights. I'm real happy with them.
