Fresh coat of paint and some new tires and It'll be sweet again.....

I just got my first estimate on painting it...... to change the color to black.... remove all of the trim and molding and smooth the fenders and paint it one solid color..... My buddy is against it though... he likes the classic look....

the white is a better colour if it comes to prep .
the gloss black show any blemish in the sheetmetal and prepwork no matter how small the white covers them up a lot better .
try to get a quote for the lighter colour i think you be suprized at the pricedifference when it includes the bodywork

I got the side makers at LMC. For the grill I had to cut the tabs on the top of the light and on the inside of the grill it has a little L shaped braket that you screw the to.

i just used zip ties one around the grill frame and the tab on the light you cant even see the zip tie,+ i got the stock grill i can put back if i wanted too...

I mounted my park lights by setting the light into the slots and under the "L" shaped piece and then put a little black silicone on the back of the light to keep it solid.
