As far as stealing and reimaging ideas goes, steal away man. I was just like you once, but just be warned that it gets addictive ~and~ time consuming, if not costly. The fun part (for me) is learning how to do something, to tweak something, and know that I can look at anything and know that I can adapt it to work how I want it to... mostly. ![]() I am working on something rather special at this time, so special I am on update lock down until it is done, so I can really pop the wow factor on you guys.

I am glad you like the build, stay tuned !!

I do love those Pontiacs, too bad GM decided to axe them and not Buick or Oldsmobile.... Quote:
Winter is coming I guess, but hopefully it is going to be a calm, and enjoyable one. Wouldn't that be nice? As far as the truck goes, I may have enough progress come Sunday night to toss you guys a bone.....

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Yea I loved the Olds, that's all we drove coming up.Dad's best friend was the head of the Olds dealership here in town and he would get a new one every two years and sell Dad his old one. All I can say is them Rockets sure did rock in my younger years

IIRC those were pretty beefy engines !?! Quote:
I did get my buddy over to help me fine tune the engine, and we discussed some custom emblems for my truck. So it wasn't a total wash. Maybe by the end of next weekend.... Quote:
About the rear sway; Modges had to call me and explain to me in itty bitty words (because you know I am not too bright some times) what the function of that bar is, and how it is supposed to function, and why the way I set it up will not work. So as soon as I am done with this current project, that is on the high list for a re-do.

Dont let the tone fool you man, I think you are one of the most stellar guys around and I really did appreciate our chat. If I cannot accept when I am wrong, then I will never be right. Quote:
So it has been too long since I updated this build. I have been hard at it though, I assure you. Here are a couple of clue shots as to what I have been up to. I am about 2/3 done, and since I am on a roll and have a working idea of how this is coming together, I predict the last third to smooth along a lot quicker! I am sure a few of you have already guessed what is coming next ..... LoL This stuff is wicked fun !! ![]()

Heheh I knew you would be looking !!

Since I am from Washington state, I will gear it all towards that state and our laws. Right now the Washington State Patrol site only mentions neon lights, and the limitations. I will check the DoT and City regs as well. At the least I will just wire them into a toggle switch and limit the useage to the showing and "wow factor". Good thing I pre-drilled my center console for 4 toggles !! ![]()
