Re: My 86 build
Took Big Red and got some paint correction and UndrDog treatment. My my my, I can’t believe my own eyes! The color is so much brilliant now. He got out a few surface scratches and a lot of sand marks & white spots in the paint. I am beyond impressed!

Re: My 86 build
Thank you!
Yes! It really did make the color pop. I noticed it from the road, before I even got down the driveway.

Re: My 86 build
The town where I live had it 21st Annual Hot Summer Nights Cruise In. My brother came up with his Honda Civic. There were 385 cars in attendance. We all congregate at the Fairgrounds for registration. Then the parade starts from there into Downtown, which is all blocked off for us to park. It was a beautiful evening and had an awesome turnout.

Re: My 86 build
Well since Big Red is pretty much put away for the winter, I started on doing some things that have been on the back burner.
First up is, I have had a set of NOS lamps to replace the aftermarket ones, in the front bumper.

Re: My 86 build
I did get some Holley Retro led lights for Big Red. I don’t like the LED’s that look like LEDs at first glance. I like the idea, but I wanted to keep the looking like the stock lights, and these foot the bill. They finally got delivered, so now I just need to install them.

Re: My 86 build
One thing I have always been missing, is my vin tag on the door. The previous owner must have removed it, or something. Well I finally found a place that remakes them, and it arrived today in the mail.

Re: My 86 build
Finally getting started on the new headlights. I got the old ones out, but got sidetracked. After getting the buckets and headlights removed, I found a bolt missing. I believe the core support or the bumper filler, to the fender, maybe. Also found a couple of speed nuts missing from the surround trim.
Spent some time polishing up some of the trim parts while it’s in the disassembled stage.

Re: My 86 build
I did get the LED marker light bulbs in. Had to take the grill lose to get enough room to get the connector & bulb away from the lamp housing. Kind of wished I would have gotten LED bulbs for the bumper lights now, lol.

Re: My 86 build
So far, no. I checked the blinkers and they were working fine, they were not flashing fast.

Re: My 86 build
I also ordered the LED Bulbs for the bumper lights. Fiqured I might as well since I’m doing the other lights.
The headlights themselves, I was missing the harness adapters. In the video for how to install the lights, he specifically says the adapters are included in the kit with the harness. Well it wasn’t, so now I need to wait on those to get here. Video for the headlight installation https://youtu.be/rX1lMox7kWQ

Re: My 86 build
Still haven’t gotten to the headlights yet. I got the adapters and then when I finally got around to installing them, I was missing the connectors. So I got those ordered and they were delivered today. So the plan is to get the lights in this weekend!
Another little project that came about suddenly. I bought a set of seatbelts on eBay to clean and restore. But when they arrived, they were way better than I expected. These things are almost perfect. I have a nice set in Big Red now, but these are BETTER! They only needed some very minor cleaning and a little rust removal from the mounts. I also lubed the mechanisms. So I’ll be swapping these into the truck. I already have NOS center belts, so I’ll leave those. Here’s a few pics of the belts I bought, before & after
