Man I had some time getting those pods to look decent. Had to rivet and glass them to my originals then get them wrapped. Waiting to see how you pull if off.

Thanks Kris, Dave,
As for the speaker pods, i went at it today in the morning with this fiberglass!!! i was dressed all up, fiberglass all over the dayum place...
, i showered and im still itchy!!!! cant stop scratching....hate this fiberglass....N E Ways, nothing special on the pods, i sanded them down, till they were smooth, primered them and hit them with a nice high temp black gloss paint so it can flow with the interior...this is just the first step, i might wet sand and hit it again with some more paint and let them sit for a good week...its looking ok, if i dont like the look i can alway get them wrapped....when i picked up my visors from my interior guy, he was wrapping some kick panels like mine as well and they looked good...stay tuned. i will post pics of tweeters and speakers once they are installed. :wink:

supp bro! been a minute since ive logged on, ride came along fantastic. good sh*t, what you can do for those kick panels is put a light coat of bondo over it and sand it down and THEN paint it. maybe thatll work, not to sure but ive worked with fiberglass before and bondo and came out nice and smooth. good luck.
oh and about the headlight bracket, nah man dont know anybody with one, wish i could help. but doesnt look like your doing to bad, you got a pretty big crowd around here and your 80z team. keep up the good work.
