    If you're going to do it, do it right. No crime there. Don't feel bad. I get impatient also.

    right ...means different things to each person. some if it works when installed...it's right. or if it didn't fall off on the test drive it's right..
    me every screw head, bolt head and nut have to be clocked the same ...:coco:
    I had Harley show bikes back in the day. I was showing at the World of Wheels and two cars tied for first place. when they were judged the second time the only difference they found was one car had all it's screw heads turner (clocked) in the same direction... Winner!!!

    Looks like you can drive the car while you gussy it up. That's the important thing, drive it!
