Project unfinished business 92 shorty

Have you decided on a color yet.....would be cool if you painted it back the same two tone with the body kit painted the same ... Nice work!

I'm thinking it'll be silver and candy blue two tone. Kinda like it is now, but all silver on the bottom.

If you need the filler panels for the doors and tag box...suicidedoors.com has the complete set for little change....

Thanks SS I already ordered them. Well I got some more work done. Billet grille went in, and the side skirts went on. I know you guys love pics so here you go.





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.





Stay tuned more to come!

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.

can't wait to see more pics .. and the finished product

[JaxSPL]

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.

[356redux]

chris: it's lowered 4.5" in the front and 6" in the back
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.

great start on the van, im not too far away down in haines city! ever need a hand lemme know!

[356redux]

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.


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.

I promise i'll get more pics up soon. Gotta get back to the body work, but I wanted the door to work before I welded it shut.
