holy sh!t, that is sexy! Whose pipes are those? (mainly the inlet pipe, not the IC pipes.) Beautiful car!

 

[QwuickTurbo6]

man that looks good. I really need to blackout my tail lights

 

[vader87]

Thanks! The inlet pipe is from Gbodyparts.com. I was able to do a few things. I installed a TH400, newly coated Cotton's 3 inch Down Pipe, Newly powder coated pipes, Tial Wastgate and Blow Off valve, New Jacobs wires, New 200 amp powder coat alt., new Positive and Negetive cables, new battery, new transmission cooler, new axles with longer 1/2 studs, rear girdle, 1 and 3/8 rear sway bar, new A/C and of course blackoutail lights with LED inserts. Wanted to do more but ran out of time. Got one of the new billet wheel 67 HPQs in a box ready to install, so maybe I can get that done the next time! Thanks Monk for everything!! With out your help, my car would still be sitting!

Here it is with the LEDs on.

And one of my favorite views:

Very nice looking, I love the tail lights, are they bright at night?

First of all thanks your service Vader87, secondly the car turned out great glad to hear its finaly getting the bucks worked out.

Wow! Its amazing looking! Are the tailights black tinted or something?

 

[vader87]

Thanks again! The tail lights have the VHT paint on them. Not hard just takes a little time. First you have to sand the lenses with 1500 wet paper. Then paint them to what you want. The more coats, the darker they are. Wait one day. Then very gently, rub them with 2000 grit wet sand paper. Clean and lay on the clear! The more the better. Wait one day. I then wet sanded them with 2000 grit wet paper, then rubbed with POLISHING compound, NOT RUBBING compound. Bought the Meguiar's headlight repair kit
Meguiar's Headlight and Clear Plastic Restoration Kit
that comes with the buffing pad for a drill and the compound. I bought mine at Walmart much cheaper. This will shine them up very nice. And yes they are bright enough at night. The picture does not show how bright they truley are.

looks very very good, thanks for the quick write up on how to do that with the tails, are the led's the bulbs or did you wire some in there

 

[vader87]

Nope bought the kit from the vendor here on Turbobuick.com.

 

[Squid4life]

Ha, I just noticed something... Where did you get that stealth looking hood mount gauge? Is it hard to read?

 

[vader87]

Good catch! I had it off until I find a better route for the hose. Hittin the wiper.

 

[randyp83]
