Jake I have to agree with you. I'll spend the $15 and maybe I'll get it right the first time, or the second, or the third and still come nowhere close to the $1,050!

Yep everything but the leveler. Be sure to pry in small sections, dont force it, it will come apart.

I can normally do headlights, apart, painted and assembled, in 4 hours, tails about 6.

thanks for the compliments too guys.

the way i have been taught to see things dealing with car building/fab/etc, is that SOME PERSON, SOME WHERE had to design what we have. and that means that I(person) can also get in there and make a damn fine version of a product my own way, especially when i am starting with a finished product ya know.

the guys at work and some of the track car owners really like the things i have done in their personal cars as well as their race-day ones too.

when i get good feedback for good work, it makes it worth it to see that it is appreciated by others as well, and i'm not the only one enjoying the results.
