Thanks Brian, had not noticed the pic at all, was looking at tools and cargo door window stickers...... Army I checked out the headlight swap, one notch closer to a front axle swap.......

Looking forward to seeing the tail light mod. Mark, what's your thoughts on the bumper tails, match, delete, slimmer..... same for the third brake light on door?

Thank you gentleman....

I plan on continuing or maintaining existing rear bumper lighting in the new rear bumper, but intend on using eagle eye LED's.......
Only one glitch with this, I was going to pull a 'tricky' and run my exhaust thru the rear bumper with exits on either side creating what would look like dual exhaust.......Don't know if I'll still do this or not, have to wait & see.

Rear bumper to be fairly minimal much like the front.
Intend to keep 90% of lighting thru-out, swap over to LED's...
Good to hear Dougie Fresh is still with us...
I'll take a picture of the 944 for you hood ornament fans....

Going back to the metal behind head lights up top,
create something that can be detached quickly for
bath day......that's what I'm thinking for now.

At the base, again back to metal behind headlight,
but this area will most likely just be stand off's,
plasti-dip the ends.....stand off's will want to be
snug to the base of the light.

These are my initial thoughts.......I might get to it
later today......we'll see how the day goes. Once I figure
it out, I'll make the other one.....I'll be bedlining them
in the end.....

Max called. He's leaving the Thunderdome and needs his ride back. 😂

This post's formatting
looks like you are writing poetry,
like Haiku. Pleasing indeed.

Huge fan, the metal work on some of those rides is just amazing..



What most folks don't know, all those vehicles built were built in 'pairs',
identical to each other for multiple location shots and 'just in case'......
Can you imagine? I mean, not an easy task!



Caught the end of Thunder Dome last night, coincidence??
I think not!
