^^^Not a pain at all...I wash my car once a week...I use my Megiurre's detail spray and wipe it down, done!

 

Got the Hood Mirror installed today!!

 

I was wondering... Could you get something a little more mirrory? Ha! looks awesome.

 

SWEET!!!!

 

Looks awseome OLDYELLER...Nicely done!

 

Looking good there man !!

 

Here is a picture of my engine compartment. the air filter didn't fit like I wanted it to so I had to turn it up for now. Still looking for a very tight 180 bend to make it lay flat.

Very nice! Did you make the cover over the headlights and grille? I'm looking for something like that.

 

Yes, I left a couple of small tabs at the back of each piece and bent them up to lap under the piece it's attached to, then drilled the holes through both pieces. The diamond plate was easy to work with and I used some of that door edge guard stuff around the edges so there would be any rough finish on the cuts.

 

You didn't happen to make patterns, did you?

 

Yes, but a friend has them right now. I'll see if I can get them back to make you a copy. May take a little while. Get some scrap cardboard and try something yourself in the mean time. Thats how I did mine. It took a couple of trys to get it like you see.

 

Shoot you could just plot it out on some paper or the back of wraping paper for the long one.

Cardboard?! You mistake me with someone who has talent, like yourself.

 

Frosty, pm me with you mailing info and I will get it together for you.

 

You are the coolest 106 year old guy I have ever met. PM sent.

 

Frosty, here are a few pictures of when I took off the diamond plate trim pieces and made new one from an alum. sheet. After clean up, I made you a tracing of the pieces.

Damn that looks nice...You have one nice ride there!

 

hip_2b_sqr: Those look great, if I were at all possible to get a copy of those patterns I could scan them in and host them online for everyone.

 

<--- needs some o' those BAD.

somebody make em' for me?

 

Hey Barry!

Car looks really good man! Lots has happened to it since Exposed back in January.

Really good work on the new plates too.

If I wind up in Miami again, I'll drop you a line!

I am going to wait and see how frosty's turn out before I send out another copy of the patterns. If it looks like it is going to be to complicated for someone else to make, I might consider making a few sets to sell.
