WOW. I'm really impressed. You've made big improvements to your car since those old photos, it didn't look right before, ugly graphics (sorry) awful body kit (sorry again)and cheap looking rims. Now it's BOMB. Mint rims, and everything is tite! It looks really good. Congrat's on the show, keep representing.

Sorry dakota you are right, I'm just having a bad day. My bad.

I thought about the big wing I like the looks of it but is unpractical and kindda of heavy.
I thought that for my next mood I'll get me a used trunk and paint it Inca color Install a big aluminum wing for some shows.
Is only four bolts to remove, and I will have the best of both worlds.
Also I'll like to have a pair of smaller wider MOMO Sport wheels.
So I can put some sticky tires up front and find out what the car will do on a 1/4 mile.
I understand about the lights, I like them the way the are now,
I may change them on the future just to see what that will look like.

Experimenting men, that's the only way to create something new and unique, you really have to see the things that I done to the car in real live to appreciate the execution and detail on the finish.
I do some things twice some times after working on them for hours even days but it has to look like factory finish.
But I do appreciate the feed back.
Dakota stay warm up there[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Let's not use bolt on parts any more,,,,,,,
we can always glue them.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Hey, I'm a working engineer get my hands dirty with the boys.
College is a lot harder dude no one make you do anything they just tell you what books to read and test you on it..
Is entirely up to you cause there is a lot of distractions
I droped out twice before I graduated.
If you can stick it out, the rewards are unlimited.

Finally I got the NOS working again, dude , one of the metal hoses bridge the possitive wire on the battery and it got hot
Smoke all over the place so I went to move the metal hose and burned my hand.
Moral of the story:
Don't touch hot stuff with your hands!
Disconnect the battery, put some of the plastic protectors in the possitive post.
The NOS?
50 shot: 65 NOS / 35 Gas
Is sweeeettt almost contagious.
I'll install the Purge Kit tonight and the pressure indicator hose.
May be I'll try to post some pictures while I doing it.

Get a goog heat gun ( Not hair dryer )
Start to slowly heat 5" at the time. Carefully sepatate the plastic cover, it helps to have some
one helping you.
Keep adding heat carefully, to much or it will burn to little it won't come open.
Do the same all arround the projector and separate evenly
(Be pacient ).
When removing the plastic cover be carefull not to get finger prints inside will be har to take out.

The plastic compund that is use to keep the light seal is also
very sticky like warm gum be carefull not to get it every were.
Take the chrome face of the projector.
Masking tape any part that you want to be chorme.
Take it to have painted by a profesional.
If you do it your self use paint that is made for plastic.
Couple of clear coats will make them shine.

After they are nice and dry do the reverse procedule.
Warm up the projector housing were the plastic adhesive is.
place the painted face in the housing follow by the clear plastic
cover work the heat even all around the projector assembly till is
nice and tight.
It helps to have the entire front bumper of the car remove to get to the head lights

All I can say is about having a clean place to do it,
and pacience lot's of it.
Good luck

Uh, well I have seen Hector's car in person both before and after the accident and rebuild, and am confident that they are the same. Cool down there, it's not worth a fight

Hector... is your hand/car doing fine after that Nitrous accident?
