this is my baby.

The two tone looks pretty cool, clean the side mouldings up and it'll look even better . Exhaust tip and hood scoop aren't really my thing but the rest of the car clean. Where does the scoop connect to? We need more outside and engine bay pics!

kgray

yeah, is the scoop functional?

t3hranger

yeah the scoops functional. we cut a hole of the same shape in the hood and it sits right ontop of the carb. I am going to get some fine wire mesh to put in the scoop to keep rain out.. but ya, more pics soon as well.

You rattle canned that?! Not too shabby at all...

I have a pretty off topic question, but I noticed you had after market gauges. Do the needles pop off and pop back on or did you have to do something tricky to get them in?

t3hranger

the entire car was rattled dude. it was a white body with one black quarterpanel.

as for the guages, yes they do that and its freaking annoying. how do i make it go away?

frozenwings

Oh, did you pop them off when you installed the gauges, and now they pop off randomly? There is something wrong with the wiring behind my gauges and they wont light up and I dont feel like messing with it so I just bought some aftermarkets. I havent installed them yet because I dont want to break the needles. On some cars they just pop off and you can put the new gauges in and pop them back on. On others, they dont come off so they end up being broke or you have to kind of bend the gauges arond the needle. Looks like it could kind of be hard to bend them around the big round part on the needles. Maybe someone else know something about them?

t3hranger

the needles will come off it just takes some effort. i was scared i was goin to break em' but they came off. except they stick alittle bit now. but if you rev it up real quick they will move.

resjsu

Yeah i have those gauges, you just have to pull the entire gauge straight off! Almost feels like you are breaking it. And when you put the new gauges on with the needle, make sure the needles are set to thwere you want them. My speedometer needle is like a cm below '0' , so it sux but the whole processs was such abitch im just going to leave it for now, lol.

Just as a reminder (cuz i didn't know, im a rook with wires and electricity and ****) the black wire is the ground, connect it to like a screw or something and the red wire is power i just plugged it into my fuses.
