LOL at Mark I'm gonna try to make it out to Bob's soon. He moved to Upland?

People can't respond if I posted in the Sponsors section. I'll move the thread there after I finish the car!

Chad, I read your thread and hope to have similar results

I used the factory hose coming off the radiator and cut it where it starts to bend towards the tb. Then got 1' of hose from Auto Zone and a double barbed fitting to put them together. Then reapainted and used the factory clamps. Thanks

I can't get over how good those headlights look. I'm sure that took a ton of time to do also.

You can use any type of grinder... bench, dremel, etc. Just make sure you stop grinding before hitting the actual lens. Finish it off with the sand paper.

Looks like it's going to rain today I'm going to wait till I can get a full day without rain to start installing the sound deadening. Looks like it will stop raining tomorrow after 9am...

Wasn't able to finish today but I'm almost half way through with the sound deadening. I finished the trunk and doors before it started raining again. More tomorrow if it stops raining... Here's a couple of shots:
