Today i started to put holes in the trunk...i glued/bondo/fiberglasses the bolts and the kept fallen after 1hr hard..and my patients ran out...with the wifey in my ear to hurry up and bar b que for the super bowl!!! Lmao.... I will just take the fiberglass to the body shop and let them work with it...im sure they got it down and have better chemicals than i do...

Oh ya...i think i found the electrical problem, i bought a multi-meter to ck the voltage to see where the short was...Nando helped me out over the phone, but we werent getting any voltage....so i just started thinking what the hell could it be....so as i had the positive already on the battery when i put the negative cable on the battery the wiper motor sounded like it wanted to move and turn on...when i hit the wiper switch they didnt work..when i bought the mally they did...i cked fuses and they were good? ..im thinking the wiper motor went out or something was going on there???so i disconnected the wiper motor and took the wiper fuse out..this was at 1pm, and left the battery connected, i went to bestbuy and get some burgers for super bowl, came back 3 1/2 hrs later and the mally turned on.. .....just came back in its 745pm know and turned on mally with no problems...so far so good. ..i think the wiper motor was running and draining my battery...usually the battery would be dead after 2-3 hrs of not turning it on..its been almost 8hrs and the battery running strong..

If the mally turns on in morning i will take to body shop and get this paint started...STAY TUNED...

wish ya woulda called me on the spoiler thing bro... needed to give you some more info on covering up you trunk lid etc.. did you get the spoiler worked out?

Nice! I just painted my sway bars also. This project is definatley coming along fast. I got one question though, this sorta applies to everyone, why are so many people painting their sway bars red? Im not dogging on you or anyone that has done it but I just dont know the reason or meaning behind it. Either way they look good 8)
