Blk n Blu Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Couple updates: Interior trim got put back in, waiting for new a/c control to get in so I can finish up the center console. Door panels coming off next week. And thank goodness no more calf burns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blk n Blu Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Well finally have a little more time to work on the vet. I got the light actuators installed. It's alive! With the lights in I can get the hood back on and clean it up a bit. Still lots to do before it hits the street but a lot closer now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, they sound great the couple times around the block. A couple weeks and I’ll be able to get out on the road for shake down & break in!

Blk n Blu Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Well I’ve got a little issue with the after market hood and the stock chrome trim. I found a piece of aluminum angle in my junk stash. Made a pattern of it and started to cut it up. After filling and and refilling a couple times it was time to polish it up. Got it glued on and it filled in the hole just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
