Re: Project unfinished business 92 shorty
I'm thinking it'll be silver and candy blue two tone. Kinda like it is now, but all silver on the bottom.

Also started cutting the tail end for the light buckets. There are gonna be two led lights on each side with about a 3/8" gap between them.

Re: Project unfinished business 92 shorty
Ok, I know its been a while, but I've been busy, building other peoples bad ass cars. You know the old adage, the roofers roof is always leaking? Well... Anyway I digress, got some more work done on the lights. Got all the buckets for the tails cut in, welded, and ground smooth. Next comes the tag pocket filler and I decided to eliminate the door lock holes on the two passenger doors.

Re: Project unfinished business 92 shorty
Hmm, Orlando, Fl...
I may have to visit down there to see this thing and may try talking some body work and such I can't do.

rebel: thx for the offer, but i already got a set waiting in the garage for after the paint job
Sorry no more pics yet, just doing boring stuff like getting the door linkages hooked up and maintenance stuff. should start the rear door next week and get the tails mounted. stay tuned for pics soon.

Re: Project unfinished business 92 shorty
Ok I know I haven't posted in a awhile so here are some updates. I got the rear door lock mechanism removed and installed an Autoloc door popper and hooked it to the door release. So no more lock just a door popper. But since there is no outside fdoor handle I'm not concerned about it being locked.

I also got a small led light strip for reverse lights. I will place them horizontally on the top of the tag frame.
![Image](http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy245/356redux/6aada5c0.jpg)
I finally found some cool lights to fill the holes in the airdam. Everything I found looked like a relic from the 70's or it wasn't rectangular shaped to fill the hole. Anzo came out with these and they will fit perfectly and have that modern look I was looking for. I figure with led tails, reverse light, and hid's in the headlights, the fogs can't be old school fluted lens pieces of crap.
