Thats whats up fam. Thanks for the props on it. It could have turned out a lil cleaner, but I wasnt really worried about that. I finished up the hurculiner around the window and rolled some on the window trim. The trim was in bad shape any way so I decided to cover it. Only prob is that the fresh hurc is shiny. I can either roll a thin layer of hurc over the old coat, or just wait it out and let the sun fade it out to match. Here's some pics I snapped with my celly...hurculiner isnt finished up in these pics. I'll get some better photo's with my Sony....

Tinted the rear window....

That same led setup will run all the way across on my SS' tail. 40" of led's and my sequential LED tail lights will most def. bust. After seeing how this turned out, I cant wait to see the end result on the SS.

Swapped out a few of interior bulbs for some led's from superbrightleds.com.



Im still debating on if I want to do the instrument cluster bulbs. I might be doing the Dakota Digital dash setup like my SS has next spring. might be a waste of loot. Im also getting my parts together for a lil front end rebuild. Upper/lower control arms, ball joints and all the usual stuff. Gettin all the parts together. Big shout out to the big homie Chris and Mel for all the help and stuff. Thanks fam!! We're gettin it together. I need to quit being lazy and upload my better pics of the finished led brake light mod. Rolled the last section of Herculiner down. Looks sweet at night cuz its all black with the wintow tinted...
Thanks for lookin...

Make sure you get all moog on the front end re did my front with moog and the rear with hotckis and with the bigger sway bars and bilsten shocks and new springs my elko handles like a slot car.


Thanks for checkin the pics out. I had the 3rd brake light for a while. Been lazy(work nights and 2 kids wears ya out!) I picked up an ebay front rebuild kit(has all the ball joints and stuff), new upper control arm with bushings and ball joints, Hotchkis front/rear sways, and the big homie Mel is giving me some lower control arms to rebuild. I'll use the bushings and ball joints from the ebay kit for the lowers. Not moog, but it will be a helluva lot better than whats goin on with my front end. I picked up some Napa front shocks, rear air shocks, and a coil airbag kit(the orange ones) Just need to get on it and install it all. The place looks like Pepboys and my old lady isnt havin it. LOL!

Thanks for lookin bruh!
