- GOT THE HID KIT INSTALLED IN THE HEADLIGHTS.. HAD TO DO SOME MODIFICATIONS BUT IT TURNED OUT WELL..

- NEXT UP WAS TO INSTALL THE NEW TURN LIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND REINSTALLED THE PASSENGER SIDE.. I HAD TO GET SOME SCREWS FROM LOWES BUT THEN NOTICED I NEEDED A NEW BULB SOCKET. LAST WAS THE SIDE MARKER LIGHTS..

- FINALLY I GOT IT RUNNING AND GOT SOME COOLANT INTO THE CAR AND I WANTED TO GET ALL OF THE PAINT TO BURN IN AND ALSO TEST THE HID LIGHTS.. YOU CAN SEE THE SMOKE BURNING OFF (CLICK THE LINK)

- TODAY I WANTED TO INSTALL THE HEADLIGHTS AND AIM THEM AND TAKE THE CAR OUT BACK TO WASH IT UP.

- FINALLY AFTER USING THE HEAT GUN TO KEEP THE PLASTI-DIP CAN WARM.. I DECIDED TO REMOVE THE STRIPES TO KEEP THE LABOR DOWN ON MY BODY GUY (MY UNCLE)..

- COUPLE SHOTS AFTER THE CLEAN UP...

- NEXT ON THE LIST:
- INSTALL VACUUM LINE SO THE BRAKES CAN BUILD PRESSURE THEN BLEED THE BRAKES..
- PROPERLY BLEED THE COOLANT SYSTEM
- FILL THE AC SYSTEM AND CHECK THE SYSTEM FOR LEAKS..
- INSTALL MOTOR MOUNT
- INSTALL THE FENDER CLIPS AND INSTALL THE FRONT BUMPER.
- DRIVE THE **** OUT OF IT FOR 300 MILES
- DRIVE TO FL
