Finally got some good weather this weekend. Spent most of the weekend fixing damage from the winter. Got a rough draft in cardboard of the cowl hood. Just to see what it's gonna look like. And I do mean rough. It's discouraging to do work then have to redo it on count of the elements. But I guess that's the price to pay when doing all your work outside.

yea ur close to wat i was thinking but i was thinking of using scissors and glue but it was a horrible joke

*nbpro* · 02-13-2011, 11:23 PM

lol ok

*nbpro* · 02-20-2011, 09:54 PM

In the process of redoing the tailgate. We decided to add a third brakelight. This is what we've come up with. It's not finished yet. The LED's have to be cut to size. Still got a ways to go on the tailgate. As far as we had to replace the metal center section. Sorry for the lousy pics. Cell phone camera. Good camera was out of batteries. Wish us luck.
