I don't even Know anyone with a manual any more. Would have much preferred to teach my kids to drive on a Honda or Toyota 5 speed.

A dying art for sure.
Only way to get a Volvo to put 600+hp to ground on a 4 banger without doing an adaptor plate and a different transmission lol.

Yea that was me……I was his intern….didn‘t end well because my big old mouth made a joke and someone took it seriously leading to a second person taking it way too seriously and that second someone destroyed the internship…….

I didn't take it seriously or way too seriously but I didn't help not let it get out of hand?

Don’t worry it wasn’t you. You just went along with what I said (in the good way not bad)…no worries bro :)

Hit the YouTube machine. Watch a video or two to be comfortable with the process, lay things out and let er rip tader chip.

You'll need way less liquid than the applicator holds. No need to put more than half an inch in there. You'll still be pouring it back in after.

Also, using the speed square you already have in that picture will help hold each piece for 90° while you apply the liquid.

I did YouTube for a minute and then bam, done! Way easier then I thought. Thanks all for the pep talk!! Everything looks solid and clean except for 2 spots that the solvent seeped under the tape. This is at the bottom in the back so no one will ever see after today. But overall I'm impressed and will attempt this again at some point.

Very happy I did this rather than the silicone. Obviously I was having second thoughts because I posted about needing the pep talk.

if you're nervous, you could always get some scrap acrylic to test on.

That's what I did till I was comfortable with it.
No practice for me, I like taking risks, lol.

Ended up being super easy
