cut fenders how to?
some pics of my cut job... http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=fendercut.jpg i made a cut along the upper fender arch line, leaving enough material to weld to, about 1/4 inch ..do not cut thru the inner fender , you will need this later to curl upwards , and to weld together, you can use a pnumatic muffler tool. harbor freight has them for under 20 bucks http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=fendercut2.jpg you can use the material from the inner fender , hammering it upward http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=fenderhamer.jpg then tack weld it, grind it down ,than putty it in http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=PICT0033.jpg i did the front too but theirs no inner fender to weld too. i just used a peice of 1/2 inch round stock and hammered it around, and streched it a little http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=frontfender.jpg

What's the toughest, stickiest primer spray?
most of the problem is surface prep. what grit paper did you use and did you use a surface prep solvent just before you primed ??? oils from sanding and your hands can affect adhesion. if you have bare metal you can try an acid etch primer, and wet sanding between coats with 600 grit wet paper, even if you grind all visiable traces of rust it almost always comes back.

Left headlight burns out, explodes in lens
the sealant between the lens ant the housing can fail. i clean it with a wire brush and then use silicone around it, also check for stone chips, you can silicone them as well. you can use a hair dryer to remove the moisture before you seal it up

3AT question
is your fluid dark, i think you would find out alot if you drop the pan. look for shavings either steel or bronze or copper flake. the dark fluid is from worn friction material, any shavinngs are from hard parts, either one isnt good

Bacon Fat on underside of oil filler cap??
my guess would be oil and water, the condensation inside of the engine heats to steam and rises to the top of the engine and cools slightly on the cooler under surface of the oil filler cap

6inch lift kit home build
i wanted to do my own lift kit, im a stubborn cuss.. i found out why others get the money they are asking. these kits like scotts are actually very reasonably priced when you consider the time involved in fabracating, but i have to prove that i can do it, but im considering buying the next one. day one http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=strutower.jpg http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=6inchblocks.jpg http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg137/ivantruckman/?action=view¤t=liftkit1.jpg
