Man I so want to put aftermarket wheels on mine. But I just don't think it is worth it by making it a theft target.
Lock nuts don't help that any, since that just ends up getting you a busted window since they know you are going to have the key for them somewhere in the car. Because you would be SOL if you got a flat.

Torque, just use red pin stripe tape. That's what I did. No mess. Finished in ten minutes. I slowed down re & re (removing and reinstalling) the front license plate.

Good work.

I didn't rough it up at all. I really should have though, but I am always impatient, so I just cleaned it. If it peels again I will just get a power sander and get it all back down to plastic then repaint it.

Driving from work and on the way to pay the rent and my fuel pump gives out on me across the street from a Autozone store. After 30min trying to start it I walked across the street,bought a new fuel pump for $121.00+tax $145.00,walked back across the street, lifted the back seat,got my four star screw driver and 45min later,I drove off into the sunset. It was fun and cheaper then calling a tow truck to come take it to a shop and do it. Love this car. Thanks Greg. If you r reading this I called cross cheak but no biggie.Last edited by Speechless35; 11-30-2013, 09:10 AM.

Olive oil, much more sexy.
today I added some fog lights and could not find my bad grille to hack down to make it look nice and then it got really cold. I called it quits to go play with family. while I was routingthe wires I kinked the nylon to my vacuum gauge so I sorta have to do all that over anyway no big deal

Also painted the rear bumper glossy black because the old bumper specific matte paint peeled off in allot of places.
Pics to come after I paint the front bumper. Also learned not to paint big things in the cold, the paint will run like a mofo, luckily the runs are not to bad, was mostly able to hide them with another coat over top.
I Also ruined my jacket, and possibly a pair of pants. I didn't realize how messy that truck bed coating is. Also I am going to be showing up to thanksgiving dinner with allot of it on my hands because I can't get it out.
Nastiness is expected with any paint type product.
