Sounds like your engine bay is going to look real sharp real quick, and I think we also have similar tastes. Can't wait to see pictures

30.24 before shipping.... and there are alot more then 18 bolts that i want to do, but i was planning on doing a section at a time (fenders, headlight bolts, and the 2 bolts on the bumper supports on this strike)... i may just do them all at once since im not gonna be getting them from ace harware anymore.... i may call hillco to see if they still offer the complete kit since their online section is under const.

What website did you find useful? I have been wanting to do this for some time now, and Hilco pissed me off. I was talking to a guy through email, and out of the blue he just quit replying to my emails. PM me please.

just so you know, I too have the kit from Hillco and have still spent at least another $500+ on stuff that is not included in the kit. Though if your going to do it, you better do it right.....
