Re: Project "Irvin"

How much did you have to modify the headlight buckets to fit them in? It's looking good!

Zero mods to headlight buckets, just took the little 194 bulbs out of housings and put a plug in their place. Thanks!

Re: Project "Irvin"

Looks great man. Where'd you get the hid bulbs? I've been wanting to upgrade my headlights but didn't know what direction to go. Sounds like your method was pretty simple!!

Re: Project "Irvin"

Instead of a inline fuse for air ride I thought this would look a little neater under hood, going to try and get this installed today amongst a lot more detailed wiring

Thumbs up Re: Project "Irvin"

Is Irvin a long bed? I finally found a set of doors and a black steering wheel. Can steering wheel be changed to blue? No cracks or anything just need it in blue. You sold a frame that was powder coated some time back, correct? PM me the cost of powder coating and doing a set of Centerline smoothies too. I read one time where Delmo paints his, but I didn't save the blog and can't find it again.
