alright, got them in my cart!
thanks for the #'s

 

NP.

Got a call from the painter, he's about to get started. The next pictures you see should be everything finished. Too bad I can't get shots of everything getting painted in the process

 

HD fogs are 4" inside housing, 5" outside housing IIRC

 

Well the truck is back together, but I forgot the SD card in my camera

 

 

Liar



Get them pics up!

 

Dead serious. I'm pissed, but heres what I could take with my camera phone:



My headlights should be in by Friday and then I'll get to installing my cats and hopefully fixing this gas problem. Gas is now $3.00/gal here.

Overall, I'm EXTREMELY pleased with how it turned out. There are a few fitment issues with the gap of the fender, and I still need a new hood, but the paint quality is excellent. Total summary is $954.26 spent in materials, with a check of $2,800 coming in from insurance. Considering I'm getting to pocket $1800, I can live with some fender gap

 

Looks good man, glad your making some profit off of this.

 

Lets get some daytime pics

Ha ha ha! Looks good man, can't even tell.

 

I'll get some later today. I still have to put the trim pieces back on. And you can tell if you look at the fender but its not TOO bad

still need a hood from the junkyard

 

a hood shouldn't be too hard to find. looks good assembled now though!

 

im sure you can rehang that fender and close the gap up

 

I was in kind of a hurry putting it back on, I might do that. Some metal bending might be required, its a CAPA certified part, but the bracket seemed to be a little too long.

Its almost 1:00am here, and I just got back from the G/F's house, and since I couldn't sleep, I went ahead and did a little more work:

I loosened all the 8mm bolts holding the header panel to the radiator support and readjusted it so the grille sits flush with the hood and fenders and then tightened them down. The bumper brackets were loosened and I then raised the bumper as high as it could and tightened it down (I need the ground clearance with the hills in Tally). I then proceeded to Lowe's and got some Christmas tree clips for the two trim pieces that go under the grille surround and the air dam for the valance. Also got some nuts, bolts, and washers so I could mount my pax fog light. I also cleaned up A LOT of old wiring my juvenile 16-year-old self did half-arsed a few years ago. Ripped old wires out, re-routed the fog light wires and relays, zip-tied them neatly , and water-proofed. Also got rid of my CB/PA speaker

In these next few shots, you can see the color difference of the two bulbs I have. The drivers side has the 65W 9005 High-beam Sylvania Silverstar Ultra, while the passenger replacement still has its stock 45W 9145 fog light Phillips. It was really foggy out tonight:











Aiming:



Tomorrow is Turkey Day, so I'll be out of town, but when I get back, I'm going bulb shopping. I need:

2x 9007 Sylvania Silverstar Ultra (heads)
1x 9005 Sylvania Silverstar Ultra (fog)
1x EP27 LED flasher (the one from superbrightleds.com crapped out)
2x Sylvania 3157 chrome-corners (soon to be LED switchbacks from V-LEDs).

Headlights by Friday, maybe a new siggy? (hint hint Derek )

 

Sure. I will see if I can do a quick good one for you in my almost none existent free time.

Are you not having heat issues with those 9005 SS Ultras in the fog lights? I would think that's WAY too much for those housings....

I ask because I like the color.
