Blk n Blu 26 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blk n Blu 26 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.
