Got the Passenger Side Mirror on her today:







Please ignore the large hole in the middle for the elusive Remote Control PASSENGER Side Mirror option.

NOW i'm ready to hit the Atlanta Loop!

That's it for today.

How many F.A.B.O. Members does it take to drill the extra hole for the hard to find remote passenger side mirror?

Just got these in today;
4 LED replacement Bulbs for 194 bulbs.
Cost: $12.00 for 20


Front Amber....194 Bulb


Front Amber....4 LED Bulb


Rear Red....194 Bulb


Rear Red....4 LED Bulb


You be the judge.
I can't see that they are much brighter at all.
They are supposed to outlive filiment bulbs by XX times.
And absolutely no heat offa them... You can't touch the 194 bulbs after 10 seconds or so without burning yourself.
The 4 LED's..... cold.
So I guess that means the plastic Side Marker Lenses will last longer?

The biggest complaint so far: Getting the Connector Filiments to connect in 36 year old Sockets was a pain!
And out of a packege of 8.... 1 is DOA.

So....like I said....You be the judge.

The next test will be in my Instrument Cluster......

I have been toying with repainting my Grill to give it a bit more pizazz.

Then after seeing 2 Darts 4 Door Sedan's Grill it will be done.


He came up with almost identical scheme as I had been toying with!
So..... Here is the Before shot of my Grill:


I will post details of the paint process when I get to it.
