				as long as you didn't fudge it up.  that's the important thing.  i can drill holes in other people's rigs all day and not blink an eye.  when it comes to my own, i measure like 30 times, double check, measure again, sweat a little, check once more, sweat some more, etc.

				Just drilled 2 holes in the roof of my 95 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport. UHF & VHF 1/4 Waves, .... I did as said before: Measured, Remeasured, Sweated a lilttle, measured once more, sweated some more, and finally after setting my drill bit in the  *exact* spot, went for it, and it looks pretty good.
I have always heard "Its so much easier to drill in someone elses roof"...I didnt really believe it till now.
