Damn, I have wanted to do that to mine, but was scared that I would goof it all up. You should have made a Youtube video of the process for the rest of us, very good on you. |

I got this set from Mike at ThingParts, but The Thing Shop sells the same set.
Both Mike at TP and the crew at TTS are great people to deal with.
I think the strobes turned out ok. They are not as easy to apply as you might think.
It took me a few hours.
Many more projects to come on this car. Fun stuff ! |

How hard was it to do the rockers? I want to get a set, but I know I’ll screw it up and they’ll be crooked. Looks great by the way. _________________ - 1977 CEI Sunroof Bus 2.0L F.I. Hydraulic Lifters

I did the rockers first. I messed up slightly but it's not noticeable. I used the soapy water spray method. They just don't slide around as easily as you would think. I had to go slow and be patient.....hard to do for me. I am guessing after exposure to the sun they will be stuck down real good. |

Well after 6 months Mellow Yellow is out of the shop and on the road again.
Brakes, shocks, wheels, axles, bearings, graphics, exhaust and too much engine work.
I still have a long list to accomplish, but happy its off the jack stands!
