Spent the afternoon combining the best parts of both sets of my taillights.

Before

Repainted the driver's side reflector thing silver. It was completely worn away.

Cleaned behind the taillights.

Removed, fully disassembled, cleaned, reassembled, and painted all black bits black again.

Taillights on. Brighter and better looking in person.

Also, I've had this car for 6 years. Messed with the trunk latch, and saw a bulb.
Never knew it had a trunk light. Put an 1156 (or 7, idk) bulb in place of the burnt 1053 and voila.

Pulled it outside under is own power. Didnt do any more tonight, I'll finish it up and get tags tomorrow.

Stance seems about right for a drag car. Thinking new front springs may be in order. It's a tad low in the front....

Looks good to me

None of what I got done was pic worthy, got the hooks for the headliner in. Got one of the sun visor mounts started and realized I only can find 2 of the 6 screws I need. Then after a buddy helping me do some research I guess I just never realized it was setup that way. Makes very little sense to me but seems everyone else's is that way, for some reason the drivers side left mounts are basically backwords meaning the front has one stud but two mounting holes and the rear has 2 studs and only one mounting hole on the bracket
 
Got a whole lot of nothing accomplished for the most part, burned the sh*t out of finger getting the shift boot finished and mounted. But other than that seemed like the hooks and visor holes were not right in the headliner, and the real kicker is the rust on the seat mounts as well as the guy that redid the seats put the one side of the bracket on back words. Any ideas on how to get that apart? Seems there is a safety I need to undo to get the one side of the track all the way out to switch them around, the brackets were painted when he put the seats together. Guess I will be POR15'ing the seat brackets

Appreciate it, but like I said it makes no sense to me why they did it this way but mine are setup like post 10 as they should be I guess
 
I recently installed my newly acquired Curt class II hitch. What a beautifully made piece and easy to install. I was really impressed. Many thanks to my friend Chris. 👍😀

Bah! Build your own - you'll hate yourself later.

PS. I hate your bumper and tail lights.

PPS. I am really just a jealous b!tch.
