Hey Len, You did a great job on those tail buckets. Not sure why you asked for tips. Looks like you have it down.

Wed Aug 04, 2010 12:15 pm

The tail light buckets could be a problem if you choose to run dual carbs. There is not much room for clearance under the rear fiberglass skirt.

Wed Aug 04, 2010 12:48 pm

Nic, these took a week to make. :lol: Just wanted to know what type of material you used to strech. I will have to reshape the dash next.

Tinnocker, I thought about that I was planning on using a single carb. I realy did not want to deal with adjusting duals. I could try type 3 manifolds if I ever do go with duals.

What are CAMARRO tail lights ?
I think you should have posted this in the ugly buggy section.
And the most important thing to keep in mind is if you keep polishing your shaft your gonna go blind.
It's about time you posted some picts. you jackass
Talk 2 ya soon

Are you still going to use those hub caps from Pep Boys.
They look real sharp.

P.S. Give me a call this week and we will plan lunch for the BUG OUT

Sun Aug 29, 2010 1:33 pm

Yeah, I was thinking of using the one with spinners. :lol: I also liked the exaust tips that light up. If you don't own stock in PepBoys you better get some because I am going to buy every stick on item I can find. :shock:
Just kidding everyone
I will post picks soon of the dash progress.
