This is great..thanks

someone did this last year, and was about to explain how in a write-up like this, and then for some reason got mad and left and never explained how he did it. So thanks a lot, I've been waiting on this for a year!

I'm not too sure about all this "approved to be a technical articles" but this thread is very complete from start to finish!
Nevertheless, it still has to go through the stated process.

I'm going to move this over to Interior/Exterior Mods, and then edit it as necessary for posting in the Tech Article section.

If you can swap a cell than you can do the dash/AC

Whatever editing that is deemed necessary to meet the criteria and format for permanent archiving of your thread in the Tech Article section, if approved.

Understood. However, we'll need full-sized pics within the thread (rather than thumbnails). If you post those within your initial post, that will expedidite the process.

You might want to read some of the other permanent Tech Article threads to get an idea about layout and pics.

Thank you.

Good news thanks! I've done about 10 cells in the past and only had to re-do one, so I may tackle this.
