I've been slacking on my build thread post, between my digital camera disappearing somewhere and my constant non stop working on this car - so here we go:

started back in feb '06 installing/experimenting with door speakers and a set of bonneville door panels:

Next was an unexpected road trip to get a set of T-tops, there was a list of people who wanted to get these but didnt come through, when he posted final bump I PM'd him with my cell number and he called, and I picked them up the next day. I was originally just going to keep the sunroof but I couldnt resist getting these

Right there is where I lost my digital camera, pretty ticked off that I had to buy a new one after looking many hours over several months for it.
so now we jump to July '06 - I swapped this to an auto from a 5 speed getrag because I wanted my wife to be able to drive it, and she doesnt drive stick. I also drive a manual truck ALL day, so sometimes its nice to just relax and use a crapomatic for my 1 hour drive home.

heres my post about "Help I have auto harnass on engine, but manual harnass under the dash problem - no start because of neutral safety switch etc..."

heres pics of the 3rd brake light mod. I did not take "Final" pics yet, just test pics of fitting and things.

heres the wing showing the 3 access panels open (so that you can remove the LED light for replacement)



heres another view of the access panels



heres a view of the aluminum brackets inside



heres a view of the 3rd brake light basicly just "Sitting" inside, without being mounted all the way in.



heres another test fitting



heres a pic of me after measuring and having to sand 1/4 of an inch off the top part of the wing, and also round off the ends 1/4 of an inch also using the belt sander... lol hold your breath!

Preping for painting! (todays long chore!)

actually, this bumper has 4 layers of paint on it, my son is helping out although not much with a dinky mouse sander - thankfully this is the only MAJOR sanding we had to do (took a good portion of the day to do)




will be posting more pics, have yet to post pics of the car sitting out in the lawn (should have done it today but in a rush)

oh, and btw my 60ish year old house is the oddball house in the neighborhood surrounded by new development
