recently i received my truck back from the body shop after they fixed the back fender. initially we were quite happy with the work - panel looks good as new from arms length. i have no quarrels with the quality of bodywork or the paint matching. in most light it is impossible to tell where the new paint is. the shop personnel have been patient and helpful with my questions/concerns so far. from closer up though i found some imperfections. im not sure if im being nitpicky or not thus this post. my truck is dark green/silver two tone. the first thing i noticed was that theres some green on the silver near the repair - theyve already agreed to fix that. its faint but noticeable. also the rear backup light no longer works despite a brand new light assembly. the old one did work after the accident. theyve agreed to have a look at this too. later ive noticed the following 1. theres an area of paint toward the front of the panel - probably where some blending was done - that looks like someone wiped a sponge over it and it dried leaving a water stain that dulls the paint. however this wont come off and is still noticeable after i tried waxing it. 2. on the next panel over theres a roughness to the paint that wont wash or wax out. since its up by the window i have no idea what it is cept it wasnt there last time i waxed. its unlikely to be environmental though as its behind my bed box. 3. looks like they created some little chip marks to the corner of the neighboring panel which they touched up. but those chips werent there before and are now quite noticeable despite the touch up. now all of these are small but to me they add up to a less-than-perfect quality control. but what i need to know is - is this normal and should i let it slide or am i justified in pointing them out and asking to have them fixed what sort of quality level is expected for some relatively minor body work thanks for any help. jmc if the problems werent there prior to the repair then the bs should fix em. the roughness is probably some overspray and can be cleaned off quickly with paint cleaning clay. it is always to good idea to clay the whole vehicle before waxing for a superior shine. mike .

nsurferx queried what size are the clutch & flywheel set for my 64 dodge longbed slant 6 225 c.i. with 3spd on tree 10 or 11 inches tia. for what its worth the hays and ram clutches say that from 69 thru 83 all d/w-100 thru -350s used an 11 setup. however further searching showed an exact application on the luk website http//tinyurl.com/un8v4 where it shows you have a 10 cover assembly with the disc being 9 diameter. bryan .
