We are reforming the fender itself so that I can easily replace the light if it ever gets cracked.

It is free since he's my uncle. Just gotta pay for paint and clearcoat.

I decided to go with a purple 194 led for the angel eye's to match the car. I'm waiting for shipment. The H1's HID's are blinding! they light up the whole street and the tree tops!

Be patient! I will post up when the mod is totally complete.I am very pleased with the results so far. It changes the whole look of the front.
Can I see pictures please. just kidding.

if im not mistaken, that was the car that was sold. And Actually if u were to take a close look at those lights they actually did not fit correctly.. they were still sticking out. So when u walkd by it, it did not look like it came with the car, it lok like someone just took lights and put it in there. Im not trying to diss the person who made it, because i was gonna by the car for myself, but that wat i saw after, when someone brought it to my attn!

I will be going there next week. Looks like we are going to be rolling the fender to line up with the corner.

slow down there cowboy

He's putting in a new crate motor for the Camaro so after that I can get in his garage. I would say give me another week or so, it's just too cold anyway.

FYI 1pint of factory Dupont matching paint cost me $50

Maybe will be done this month

Went to the junk yard the other day and cut off a low beam harness off of a 92 G50 since the 95 has the 3 prong low beam harness and didnt connect properly.

The lights still work great and I have not noticed and problems with the non-oem bulbs.

Lasoya, I'll be in Nashville on either a Saturday or Sunday in the middle of May, and would have the other day free. I could do another 2.5 hour trip to Knoxville easy.

Email me if you would have a weekend free to show me your car, also I'm gonna want to check out those lights!

Any update on the body work?

That's pretty sick. If the hood and quarter panels lined up right it would be beautiful.

Very nice job. Ebay angel eye's look cheap though. I still like my clear jdm better.
