headlights and harness mounts up next

Looks great, glad to see another person into Flatland BMX were a dieing breed

Holy ----, Mang. Lookin' good. I spent another five minutes looking at that sexy turbo/IC mount.

Are you gonna run the front oem headlamp?? Nice project

thats a negative, gonna be a custom recessed setup. ill post up some pictures of what my thoughts are on that later. i have some sylvania 2x6 sealed lamps im gonna use

sylvania makes a 2x6? i tried looking for those before and came up with no options for it.

i measured the bulbs they are more like 5x2(actual lens)
sylvania xtravison H4351

now that paper tray is made by measurments i pulled from thin air. in reality, it will be about half as long and about 3" wider.

and this is what i want it to look like

I this sucsessfully works can you please make some templates of the size of the bucket they can even be simple paper I would pay to have them. Something like this would save me soooooo much room on my build and make a ton of things a lot easier. The build looks great I cant wait to see more.

So you planing on cutting both the bumper and the lids?

yes

Looks good man, wasn't there an aftermarket company that made similar with lexan covers?

The lexan covers were sold by 2 companies, one of them was from moss but i'll be honest looked like ----, the other one sold buckets along with the clear covers but you had to find your own headlights and you were on your own for mounting them.

i finaly have ordered aerocatch hood pins, i need to get the hood mounted solid before i can do the lights, i wanna get my turn signals squared away so im looking for turn signal sockets, anyone have a set laying around for sale, or know the part number for napa?? napa sells a ton of them but there isnt any info on the cars they fit

I think I have a set. I'll try to look tomorrow for em.

I have a set of front turn signal sockets too. They were in my trash pile at the shop... I will try to find and pull them out today.

any luck with the sockets guys???

I have the light sockets sitting in my car. Maybe tomorrow you can grab them. You still in middletown? PM me.

I'm sorry but it runs good right? have you driven it at all. Does it really have to be 100% of every mod all at once just rig a lighting system and work on your mods while driving the thing that is why ur building it right? you can pretty much drift it now I know it's been a long time coming I just can't believe ur still modding rather than driving

Yes really. This thread is comical. The OP should have junked this car in 2008 when he wrecked it. With the time and money invested he could have built an Ultima GTR...

yeahh not quite buddy, i still dont have half of what a base gtr goes for. And its only money.... Ill make more. i love how you guys think i dont want to drive the car, believe me i do, but its not all my life revolves around. I dont really need to explain myself or reasons for why i do what i do with my car. The car will drive when i say so. And thats that. yes i could drive it now, but im not comfortable with the way it is. there are alot of little details that im trying to wrap up. And im registering the car, i need headlights. im not gonna worry about going somewhere and having to be home before dark. And incase you didnt notice its not like i can just go bolt on some stock headlights
