no new ones yet, but figured id go ahead and pick up some wheels and toss the 36's that have been in the garage for forever on then start deciding on tires

threw some paint on the sliders for now too

picked up some valve cover gaskets also the leak on the driver side i starting to get worse so i guess thats saturdays project

can you get away with no fenders on the rear?

 

[86 slo-vo]

yup around here they dont care, i sit right beside cops at lights all the time and havent been pulled over yet for anything...

knock on wood considering, i have no turn signals and no mirror's no plate light and a few other no so legal things lol around here though just about anything goes

 

[4.0B2]

alright, our cops are cool about some stuff but i'd never get away with all that...lol

 

[86 slo-vo]

i just wave and smile lol, they are probably just all happy that the mustang is up on jackstands with no motor....back in the day they knew me very well to say the least lol

No signals? Jeez man, that wouldn't last too long around these parts.

 

[86 slo-vo]

nope, i didnt like the way they worked with a single buld tail light...

i actually had some....for about a week until i accidently ripped the wire out and just havent fixed them yet. but they are small

 

[disciplerocks]

I have yet to add plate lights to mine. I bought some when I built my bumper and never opened the package.

 

[MountainMike]

Now that's cool!

 

[86 slo-vo]

Now that's cool!

its a fender delete for like a cbr600 or something close to that, i need to pull out the soldering gun and fix it

 

[MountainMike]

I'd jump right on that, but mostly because I think LEDs are cool as all get out.

 

[86 slo-vo]

yea the led's are nice, my only problem was i got in a hurry when i wired it up and the wires are TINY.....so i just crimped them and went on well they pulled out of the sleeve when i was getting something out of the bed so next time around they will be soldered

i think though that i need to add a resistor somewhere because when they were working they wouldn't flash like they are supposed to i guess they don't flash when the backs arent hooked up and with the led's using so little power it doesn't know they are there

who knows, i am far from a wiring genius
