Swapped out the bulbs for the license plate lights with some LED lights I had bought for my F150 when I had that and forgot to install them before selling it.

Not a direct swap and something I'll probably regret in the future.

I tossed the stock lens in the mill and created some pockets for the PCB board to sit down in.

Brought Chucky home after spending 9 weeks at Body Shop.

I used PPG Single Stage over white primer and sealer.

Oscar - Chucky looks GREAT! How about some detailed pics of the trailing edge of the targa bar, where you did the mod to eliminate the bright work?

I've been thinking of doing that same thing and would love to see some close ups.

Also: will Chucky be coming up for the 2020 WCR?

Finished up passenger door panel. Almost done with driver side. Lots of hours into them. Replaced original inside door pulls (broken) with new loop style. Not an easy task either.




Those door panels are very cool! Digg'n the tunnel/console too....awesome work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

@tygaboy

Thx Chris, I used minimal filler as I welded up trim area.
Keeping my fingers crossed I can have ready for 2020 WCR.

I can get you better close ups if needed.

I can't wait to add the cool alum radiator shroud you sent me. Thx again

Oscar

Did you lower the air pressure to get in all the little nooks? If not, what method did you use?

Very clean looking. Tunnel treatment is cool. What’s going on with the shifter?

Yes I used just under 2bar/30psi... Also spray less paint to avoid drips.
