Damn Clint! You've been through a lot in the past few weeks. Shoot, where do I start? I absolutely love the front-end conversion and the fabrication you've done on your exhaust is amazing! Lol, is there anything you can't do? Also, your new garage looks three times bigger than the one you had over here. I bet that helps a lot. I'm sorry about not replying earlier to your PM, Nikki and I went on holiday.

No worries Scott, hope you guys had a good time! Yeah it's nice to have a garage where I can spread out a little to get some work done.

Omg. Been following your thread for a while.
Did you inherit your dad's life earnings or something? You have a family, a house, quite a few cars, modding this one, AND a new plasma display.
If you didn't inherit it, you must be dealing crack on the side.
On another note, everything looks amazing. Picking up some good tips along the way.

LOL. I have 3 cars, only one car payment. The house we just bought and the plasma display was a Christmas present. I wish I was dealing crack on the side. The Army pays me enough for my hobbies, but barely.

Très sexy.
How did you tweak the alignment on the headlights? My driver side one was not done properly by the autobody shop and I haven't really thought about it until I read through your post. Is it similar to the GM cars where you align the headlights via a specific bolt at the back of the headlight? Or do you actually have to take out the front bumper and really play around with it?

I'm going to have to drop the bumper and bend both the radiator cradle and the fender to get the lines right. It sucks but there isn't any other way to do it.
The bolt thing you're talking about is aiming the headlights and these have them. All that does is tweak the bulb housing orientation though, not move the whole light assembly.

Clint, my hood lines up the same exact way with my headlights and fenders. I'm sure its my damn hood because that cheap shop I got that work done, told me they had to take off the hood for paint?
Stupid.
I'm putting my car on hold until after I get into the Coast Guard and actually start making some money.. my minimum wage job wasn't enough, and now that school is done I'm just going to go off of life savings until the middle of January.
When I get out of boot i'll be in VA, I might want a body shop to fix all these dents and paint the car over again, could you recommend a good body shop in NC? Just wondering..

That's the difference between doing this stuff as a hobby and doing this for a living Gerry. It's easy for me to take a break from other stuff to work on my car. I couldn't do this for a living. No worries on the rail, I figured you're still busy. Just let me know when it's done because Andy's kpro is on the way and I'm starting to get a little antsy to change out the fuel system.
