Took a breather for a few weeks after the stress of getting it out of paint shop. Starting to get it put together. Working way back with the dynamat, made and installed AC lines and vacuumed down for leaks before starting to assemble everything on top of them. Installed exterior lights in prep to start tailoring the harnesses. Also a clip the body shop produced.

DRL's were originally blue..didnt digg and one was flakey, so replaced with white with demon eye.

Nice. Alot of trick pieces in this ride. Well done. What exhaust did you end up running again? I know I asked a while back, but my memory isn't what it used to be. LOL


Thanks,
Jim
